Lemon Caper Chicken Piccata

Chicken Piccata is one of those meals that you can make in bulk and is arguably better the next day. I don’t know about you, but I’m about eating tasty leftovers!

Now, I’m a sucker for a good cookbook, so I can’t say this is my family recipe, nor can I tell you exactly where I might have discovered this exactly recipe.

But I can tell you this: This Chicken Piccata Recipe is Deee-Licious!

I served it with Sautéed Asparagus and a Butter Lettuce Lemon Dressing Salad. We also had a Grilled Tomato, Basil and Fresh Mozzarella with Balsamic Glaze as a started.

Okay maybe this wasn’t a Tuesday night 30 minute meal, but the chicken piccata was the only one that took more than 10 minutes.
