"I found this recipe at our Italian Bakery.It is Fantastic! After reading the reviews I added more chicken broth and it is even better. This is also very good without the mushroom and it's Perfect Chicken Piccata"

Made this last night for dinner and it was a huge hit with everyone! Will definitely make it again soon! Delicious! I added a couple of tablespoons of fresh cream to the sauce and it gave it a lovely creamy texture.

An "experiment" recipe that was a hit! I used Lawrey's seasoned salt in the flour. Did not add capers (cause no one in my family but me will eat them) and did not put in parmesan. Reduced lemon juice to 2 TSP. Service with rice and it was great. Will keep this one for sure. Added a little corn starch to the sauce to thicken.

I made half a recipe and turned out very good. Served with thin spaghetti and zucchini fritters.

The chicken came out nice and juicy. It was a quick and tasty way to use up some boneless breasts. (10)
