The other day I was at an Italian restaurant and saw chicken piccata on the menu. I realized I had never tried it, so I decided today would be as good a time as any to make it. I do not know why, but I always thought lemon chicken piccata was a pasta dish. However, after asking the waitress, I found out it was not so, lemon chicken piccata was actually a style of cooking the chicken. It had nothing to do with the side, but the sauce it was served in so I was even more intrigued. I knew I had to give it a try!
Well, I tried it at the Italian restaurant with a side of pasta (I just felt like it needed pasta) and was so impressed. This dish was so excellent. The sauce was a beautiful lemon flavor full of herbs and spices that blended perfectly into a great evening dish. I have tried so many different lemon flavored sauces in the past so I knew what to judge it on, and I will tell you this one is the best. It is full of flavor, texture and creaminess that makes it perfect.
