Chicken Piccata

Dinner on Saturday May 22, 2010

These next few posts probably will be out of order, but what can you do? We wanted a simple dish for the chicken breasts that Jim had carved from the whole chicken that we picked up earlier in the week . We had done Jamaican Jerk legs and wings with Roasted Beets in a Horseradish Cream Sauce on Wednesday and had put the rest of the carcass in the freezer for stock making on Sunday.

We found the Chicken Piccata recipe in the The New Best Recipe (the closest thing we have to a bible). Not much to say here. Flavors were excellent even though Jim dropped the chicken on the floor after putting it in the oven to continue cooking (he pulled it out of the pan a bit too early). We served it with sauteed zucchini and a bit of farfalle pasta. Easy and fast enough to join anyone's weekday rotation.
