Chicken Piccata...easy peasy!


Here's a nice quick and healthy dish which makes it to the table in about 30 minutes..prep time included!

Here goes for the recipe:-

Easy Chicken Piccata (Serves 4)

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to 1/2" thickness and cut to make 4 pieces.
PAM spray or olive oil for cooking.
2 tbsps cornstarch (give or take).
Juice and zest of 2 lemons.
1/2 cup natural low fat yogurt (Greek if you can find it).
2 tbsps drained capers.
Lemon slices for garnish.
Salt and pepper to taste.

Heat a non stick skillet and add the olive oil or PAM spray.
Season the chicken to your liking then rub in the cornstarch.
Add the chicken to the hot pan and brown each side.
When internal temperature reaches 155F (or when juices run clear when poked) add the lemon juice, zest and natural yogurt to the pan and reduce the heat. Simmer the chicken, turning in the sauce to coat for 5-10 minutes then add the capers and lemon slices.

Serve with broccoli or other green vegetable.
