Chicken Piccata is one of my favorite dishes. There are many recipes for this amazing dish however, I came up with this recipe one day and it turned out really scrumptious (if I may say so myself, lol)!
This is an easy and fast recipe to prepare, it took me about 20 minutes and voilà. I omitted the butter because I felt it unnecessary here. I didn’t compromise the flavor by doing so and the result was very satisfying. You can serve it over steamed rice, pasta, sautéed rosemary potatoes or just a bed of vegetables. Today, I’m serving it to my family with some white rice.
