This was absolutely wonderful! I made this exactly as directed except for two things: I sliced the chicken breasts in half and lightly pounded them, and I coarsely chopped the capers (from experience, so that they don't roll off the chicken). Chicken piccata is one of my favorite dishes, and this recipe is a winner. You've done it AGAIN, Mean - yet another stellar recipe!

Best Chicken Picatta EVER. HUGE HIT for a family birthday dinner. I cut the chicken breasts into tenders and didn’t flatten (I feel like I need to bleach my entire kitchen if I pound out chicken breasts. Yes, Kirsten, I realize I am vaguely neurotic ??) and adjusted the time accordingly. I doubled the recipe, fully expecting to have leftovers. Alas........completely devoured.??

I am living with the most wonderful boyfriend in the world in his 150 year old farmhouse. I also have a most fabulous 16-year old son! I love to cook - it's a major stress reliever for me and I thoroughly enjoy the reaction of others when they like my dishes! My other passion is sailing - BF and I plan to take off from Oregon toward the South Pacific in a couple years to live on his boat.
