Quick Chicken Piccata
Quick chicken recipes make dinner a breeze. Laced with lemon and simmered in white wine, this stovetop entree is super easy and elegant. Almost any side—noodles, veggies or bread—tastes better next to this lovely chicken. —Cynthia Heil, Augusta, Georgia

This was extremely easy and I thought very delicious. I didn't have enough white cooking wine so I did half that and half veggie stock, but did everything else. Even my picky eater teen got seconds.
This is sooo bland! The picture indicates that the chicken breast is thick, yet the directions say to pound it thin. It shows pasta, yet there is no sauce for it. Rice would've been a better choice.
Question. I hate the taste of wine. when cooking with wine can you taste it in the food. If so what would be a good substitute.
Hello I have a question if u don't have lemon what else can I use
Quick easy entree that will make people think you worked hard to create it. :) My husband really enjoyed it!
My whole family really enjoyed this recipe! After I took the chicken out of the pan, I added more butter and chicken broth, then added flour to thicken.
This was great and super easy, which is good since I'm not much of a cook. :) I used chicken broth and it turned out well.
Delicious! Husband requests this all the time now, and he is very particular about his food. This recipe is not designed to make sauce for noodles so it’s too bad people rate it low because there wasn’t enough sauce left over for noodles. It is just for chicken...I always make the garlic-butter-white wine sauce from epicurious.com and add it to some angel hair pasta because it uses the exact same ingredients as this chicken recipe so it works out perfectly. I’ve also added some asparagus and mushrooms in with the noodles. Delicious.
This was nothing like any chicken piccata that I’ve ever had... the recipe appealed to me because I do not like capers, but the flavor was so unbelievably bland. There was barely any “sauce” when the chicken was fully cooked. I had to remove it from the pan and dump another 1/4 of wine and tbsp of lemon into the pan and simmer it for a while. Also added maybe 1/8 tsp of garlic and onion powder each. Changes made it paletable, but we will not be making this again.
I made the recipe as directed but there was almost no sauce to serve with the noodles. The taste of the chicken was good.
