The lemon flavor of this chicken dish is delicious! I love lemon and chicken together. In fact, the first meal I made for my husband before we were married was a Shake ‘N Bake Chicken with lemon juice squeezed over it and Alfredo noodles. So lemon chicken and I go way back.
Chicken Piccata comes from Gooseberry Patch’s Foolproof Family Recipes. It’s full of great recipes that are… foolproof. I even have a recipe of my mother-in-law’s in there that I submitted. It’s the Onion and Dill Bread that you can find on Mandy’s Recipe Box. It’s so good. I love it slathered in butter.
Foolproof Family Recipes has over 250 recipes that are perfect for newlyweds, new cooks and families on the go. I love all the categories. Click here to get sample recipes from the cookbook!

NOTE: This recipe had enough pan sauce for one serving. I will triple the bouillon mixture next time. There just wasn’t enough.
