  1. This was the PERFECT recipe for the girls' night I hosted over the weekend. This chicken dish was very flavorful and had a beautiful presentation, but it was shockingly easy to prepare! I served over whole wheat pasta with a side of sugar snap peas. I garnished the plates with a swirl of lemon and parsley - very elegant. This recipe was perfect served with a pino grigio and some brushetta (I highly recommend Recipe #37718 - excellent!) Thanks for sharing, Little Bee! I will be making this one again soon!
     
  2. Just like the title says, really easy and good. Added more garlic and doubled the sauce. I made my chicken breasts into small strips lilke chicken tenders, seasoned them with salt and pepper, sauteed them lightly, transferred them to a warm oven and then I sauteed some sliced mushrooms in the same skillet that the chicken was in. I poured the white wine, lemon juice, 3 minced cloves of elephant garlic, minced shallots, one teaspoon of "Better than Bouillon" chicken flavor,,capers, and zest of a lemon all together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Then I added about 1/4 cup of heavy cream to mixture and added the chicken to the sauce. Simmered for 2 minutes, put the pasta on the plate and topped it with the chicken and the sauce. Sprinkled freshly grated parmesan cheese on top. Fabulous!!!!!!
     
  3. Loved this recipe! was very easy to make and tastes great, my roommate loved it too!
     
  4. Really good! I used 2 large chicken breasts, sliced thin and pounded out to make 4 large cutlets. I also sauted about 8 oz of mushrooms in the butter after I took the chicken out of the pan. I doubled the sauce (tripled the garlic) and added just bit of flour to the butter to help with thickening. Didn't have any parsley, and forgot the parmesan. This made enough dinner for DH & me, enough for both of our lunches tomorrow and there is still 1 whole chicken cutlet with sauce left. It was super quick to make and the taste was very good. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  5. I mad this meal for my wife on Valentines day, because Chicken picata is what we had at our wedding reception 5 years ago. We both thought it was one of the best chicken dinners that we have ever had. It was so easy to make, I didn't expect it to taste as good as it did. A MUST MAKE for anyone who likes chicken picata. Thabk you for the recipe.
