I have tons of chicken in the freezer and this needs to be on my menu soon! Looks delicious. =)
i made a very similar take off on this tonight using leftover sliced chicken. I made the sauce with chicken broth and flour, added some lemon juice and capers, added more lemon juice when it seemed to need it, plenty of black pepper, dried parslet, and served over spaghetti. Super easy chicken piccata!
