Number Of Ingredients 7

4 - boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced thin
1 can(s) campbells chicken broth condensed
1/3 cup(s) fresh lemon juice ( about 1 large lemon or 2 small.)
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) drained capers rinsed
2 teaspoon(s) lemon zest
1 - large bag frozen broccoli flowerettes
- do not salt. the broth and capers are salty enough.

Steps:

  • Cook broccoli first in boiling water, drain well and keep warm. The broccoli is used as a bed for the Chicken Piccata instead of noodles or starches.
  • Lightly flour chicken breasts.
  • Mix together broth, capers, zest and lemon juice in separate bowl. Set aside.
  • Melt 1/2 stick butter to saute pan and brown chicken breasts well. Remove from pan.
  • Add broth ingredients scraping up browned bit on bottom of pan. Place breasts back into pan and cook on the number 8 heat on an electric stove. You want a higher heat. Cook about 5 min until done. It will not take long to cook because the breasts are thin. Do not overcook or they will dry out. Plate the breasts and keep warm.
  • Keep cooking the sauce until about half remains.
  • Put cooked broccoli in bottom of large serving bowl, place chicken on top and pour sauce over it all.
