Excellent! Turned out perfect and delish. thanks for sharing this recipe. Donna -
This was so easy and good. Like the other reviewers mention, it almost tastes like fried chicken. The taste of the wine and lemon juice was perfect! I will make this again. Thank you for posting this recipe.

I made this for some friends - so good, but I added a bit more chicken broth and spinach before adding the chicken back in. Also, added a splash of flour at the end for a more "gravy" sauce on top. They came back for seconds! -
This was delicous and SO easy! That's coming from someone who can't cook to save her life! This tasted a lot like fried chicken, just without the crispiness. My whole family gives it 5 stars! Thanks tons.:) -
My family really enjoyed this chicken! It is just as tasty as fried chicken, but doesn't use bread crumbs and is easier. Thanks!

This dish was fantabulous!!! This was my first attempt with chicken picatta. Elissa, thank you. I did however make only two small changes. Instead of 1 cup of white wine or chicken broth, i used a half of both. Also I did not add the capers in the end. Instead I added them to the sauce to cook them so that their beautiful flavor was incorporated in. This was such a crowd pleaser, and I mean a crowd! I took a chance and prepared this recipe for 12 people so I had to triple it!! Which is risky with a recipe you've never tried. However everyone, including myself, agrees it was great. I paired this with fresh sauteed yellow squash and zuchinni with basil, oregano,garlic, and olive oil and then tossed the veggies in an angel hair pasta. Magnifico!!! I will make this recipe over and over. Next time I will pair it with a garlic lemon asparagus. Thanks again!
