Chicken Piccata Recipe

Boneless and skinless chicken breasts are a great meat to cook if you want to cut down on calories in food. The boneless and skinless chicken breasts are a lean meat to cook, and they taste great in many dishes too.

What you want to do, when you are cooking with lean meats is to use different recipes to cook them, and not to repeat the same recipes all the time. That way you will be able to create tasty and different dishes, while using lean chicken breasts. I know that a lot of people are always looking for chicken recipes. Chicken piccata is one of the easier chicken recipes, but it is very tasty and flavorful.

Chicken piccata usually includes sour element (lemon juice), salty element (capers) and creamy element (butter). Here I am skipping capers, but using both white wine and lemon juice.

Here are more main dish recipes: Meyer Lemon and Asparagus Risotto, Thai Chicken Salad, Fried Rice, Simple Meatball Recipe.

Serve chicken piccata with a simple pasta dish, such as Pasta With Cheese, Basil and Parsley and a simple salad, such as Grape Tomato Salad Recipe With Dill And Onions.
