  1. So many dif ways to make piccata. As an asst. Chef in a local Italian restaurant in my town (and no, not a chain like olive garden lol) mighty big claim saying that it is the "perfect" recipe lolol

  2. I've been making Piccata for 50 years and didnt think I could improve on it. All the same ingredients but using the cut up lemon slices and salt marinating the chicken were game changers. 5 Star Recipe!

  3. I made the chicken picata tonight for dinner and it was DELISH!! The lemons cooked down enough that you don't even taste the bitterness from the pith. Served it with angel hair pasta that I tossed with whatever sauce was left in the pan and topped that off with a sprinkling of parm and more parsley. Definitely will make again!

  4. Salting the chicken, as acknowledged, will change the texture of the chicken, just like brining does. I don't like that changed texture. Flouring the chicken should help hold the moisture in without the need to "marinate" the chicken in salt ahead of time.

  5. I love how long ATK has been in my life. I trained in a kitchen with a family, of 65, 45, and 30 year old chefs, at a young age in my teens. I dearly miss those days. A little direction goes a long way and there is no shortage of info here. The internet is making it easy to catch up instead of waiting to catch an episode on TV. Thanks again and always.
