Light Chicken Piccata With Linguine Recipe


Light Chicken Piccata With Linguine Recipe
Light and tangy chicken recipe. I like to add a bit more butter to make the sauce richer, but that's not how the recipe was originally intended.

  16. Mel's notes: This was delicious! But needed LOTS more salt and pepper. II also like to make a richer sauce with more butter.
