WHAT IS CHICKEN PICCATA?

Piccata means cooked in a sauce of lemon, parsley, and butter. Funnily enough chicken piccata or piccata di pollo in Italian is not very popular in its origin country. However, it can be easily found here in America and I cannot complain.

📖SUBSTITUTIONS & VARIATIONS

Add veggies. Throw in some of your favorite veggies for a more robust pasta dinner. Grape tomatoes and briny capers are a delicious combination.
