This variation on the original uses mushrooms and artichoke hearts as a tasty twist. Yum! Serve over pasta or rice. White wine or water may be substituted for chicken broth.

Overall taste was good. Made a few minor changes. Did not cut chicken into strips, just pounded chicken breast. Added 3 cloves garlic when cooking mushrooms, used 1/2 cup broth and 1/4 cup white wine. Also added a little butter and flour to the sauce to thicken up a bit. Added capers of course at end becaue it wouldn't be piccata without capers. Will make again Read More

An average chicken piccata recipe. You do not need all the flour that the recipe calls for - - just enough to coat the chicken. And I did not cut my chicken into strips; flattened the chicken breast to 1/4 inch pan seared and kept in a warm oven while making the sauce. The addition of the mushrooms and artichoke hearts was a nice treat! Read More

This is a great basic recipe for chicken picatta. You really don't need more than 1/4 cup of flour though. Otherwise the sauce may become thick. I also prefer to use less lemon juice. 1/4 cup makes for a strong lemon flavor. A white wine is a good substitute for the broth. Read More

I made a few slight changes. I used an egg/lemon juice egg wash then dredged in seasoned flour. Pan fried with olive oil and butter. I held the chicken out and meanwhile added mushrooms chicken broth lemon juice crushed fresh garlic capers and artichokes to pan. Cooked down into a sauce thickened slightly with cornstarch and served over the chicken. Too lemony for my 11 yr old but my DH and I liked it. I will make again. Read More

Simple and yummy! This dish was a hit. My husband and one year old both loved it. I used wine instead of chicken stock and added some chopped fresh tomato and parsley for color. Served over pasta with crusty bread delicious! Read More

We enjoyed this recipe. I doubled the mushrooms and left out the artichokes. I also added a tablespoon of butter. Good with rice. Read More
