Chicken piccata

This chicken Piccata recipe I originally saw on Food Network. It's an Ina recipe, but I made my own recipe for asparagus and red potatoes as a side. The chicken instructions and breading were perfect, but the sauce I wasn't crazy about. I had to add some garlic and a bit of cream to take the tartness out, perhaps the 2 lemons I juiced were larger than the ones she used in hers, and it came out too sour. Other than that it was a really delicious meal and it made the whole house smell great. I will still be searching for a perfect sauce recipe to go along with the chicken.

 

Here is the recipe!

These are timely but worth it.

Chicken Pot Pie Bowls

 Here is my favorite Chicken Pot Pie Recipe ever - I loved this recipe cause my husband is super picky if he doesn't like certain veggies, I can simply split the recipe and my pie can have different ingredients than the others. I was able to just split the recipe in half and make individual pies, the only difference in these pies was mine had onion and my husbands didn't. You can add or replace any vegetable you prefer. It's pretty simple and the results are tasty and impressive.
