Notes
Serve Tasty Chicken Piccata on a plate with some of the sauce poured over the chicken. Goes well with pasta, rice, or a fresh green salad. Add a slice of lemon on the side for an extra touch of flavor. If storing leftovers, let the chicken cool before placing it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently.
