Southern Living's Chicken Piccata/ Piccata Chicken Breasts

5.0(8)

I found this recipe in Southern Living's Ultimate Quick & Easy Cookbook. My family LOVES it. It is very simple and quick, but it tastes delicious. I serve it with crisp baby green beans and various kinds of rice. In the past, I have added minced garlic and chopped parsley to the last cooking step (when you reduce the broth to make a light sauce). Enjoy!
