Chicken Piccata has always been a huge favorite in my family. I remember my mother and big sister both making it so often when I was growing up and I lived for it. It’s such a fresh, bright and easy dish. I made my version of the family recipe this week and it was everything I hoped for! I used a large skillet with deep sides to panfry the chicken and create the sauce.
