Such an easy dish which tastes fabulous! I made it exactly as is, and then tossed it with penne, wow, really quick and delicious dinner! I'd love to sautee some onion, green pepper and mushroom, and do the whole tossing with penne thing again! in fact, I will :) This is a great recipe, thanks for sharing!! It was made for I Recommend tag game

I, too, thought that the dish was a little tart for me, so I added more broth to get it to the taste my family liked. The chicken was tender and flavorful and the sauce had just the right amount of tartness after my adustment (I probably added 1/2 cup more broth). Next time I'll add the parsley right before serving to keep it from turning brown. Thanks for the recipe it was just delicious!

My husband and I loved this and I loved how quick and easy it was to prepare. I usually do chicken piccata by pounding the chicken filets very thin before coating with flour and sauteing....I very much prefer this method! I sliced the chicken into bite size slices, rather than cubes and just sauteed a minute or two on each side. Also, I didn't use any wine, just a full cup of the chicken broth as that's what we prefer. I served this over cooked penne with some steamed broccoli and it was a delicious meal. Thanks so much 2Bleu for the recipe...it's an instant favorite of ours :)

My family loved this recipe. I took advice from some of the earlier posts and doubled the sauce amounts except for the capers. I had to add more oil to the pan after cooking the chicken since I used a nonstick pan and there was no oil left in the pan after 5 minutes. Definitely would make this again!
