Chicken Piccata

Super easy and a very delicious meal!  If you are looking for a new recipe that your family will love, this is it!  The ingredients are simple, but the results are amazing! For years we just grilled chicken, added a few sides and called it dinner.  Now I know how important it is to search for good recipes and give them a try.  I learned another thing; not only can I cook, I'm good at it!  A good recipe is key!  

Ingredients

3 boneless chicken breasts, cut lengthwise to make 6 thin chicken cutlets

1 c. Italian bread crumbs

2 eggs, beaten

3T butter

2 lemons

2 c. chicken broth

2 jars capers (rinsed)

1 box whole wheat angel hair pasta

Parmesan cheese (grated)

Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions: 

Bring a large pot of water to a boil to cook the pasta. 

Place the butter into a skillet and heat on medium/high. Dip the cutlets into the beaten egg and then dredge the cutlet into the bread crumbs.  Pat the bread crumbs onto each cutlet, so they are really coated.  Place into the skillet and cook for 4 minutes.  Turn the cutlets over and cook another 4 minutes. Remove the cutlets to a plate and cover with foil.  

Add the chicken broth, lemon juice and capers to the skillet.  Stir and scrape all the brown bits from the skillet into the sauce.  Bring the sauce to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. 

Serve the pasta with a cutlet and some sauce. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley and fresh grated parmesan cheese.
