Chicken Piccata Recipe

You might remember last week I posted a recipe for Chinese Lemon Chicken. Well, this week I thought I would share the other version of lemon chicken – Chicken Piccata. Chicken piccata is basically boneless skinless chicken breasts dipped in egg, rolled in flour and browned in the pan. After browning the chicken breasts are then simmered in a delicious lemon-wine sauce. This recipe is a little different than most with the addition of fresh sliced mushrooms. Although chicken piccata isn’t traditionally served with mushrooms I feel it only adds to the flavor. There are a few steps to this recipe so it may take a while to cook. I think it probably took me a couple hours to get this on the table but I enjoyed it. As you can probably tell if you read my blog chicken is one of my favorite things to cook! I served this recipe with linguini and although optional I find sprinkling parmesan cheese on top of the chicken tastes great.
