Excellent base for a great chicken piccata!!! i changed it as follows: i used flour in place of breadcrumbs. I used a full can of chicken broth 15 ozs and added 1/2 cup of dry white wine. i also used 10 cloves of garlic.... we like garlic.... lol i also added 2 tbl of butter with the olive oil. the flavors were outstanding!!!! i served it with whole wheat pasta and once i drained the pasta i added about 1/2 cup of the sauce to the pasta to keep it moist and flavorful.... this is a very clean light tasting dish with lots of fresh flavors. thanks for sharing... i can't wait to make this again.
