Lemon Chicken Piccata

We aren't big capers fan so I didn't put any in but it was still yummo! I did add a little bit of flour to thicken the sauce just a bit.

It was delicious!” - nleewelsh Riesling pairs perfectly with lemon chicken, trust us - this pairing is beyond amazing!

They raved how wonderful tasting it was.” - MerleAnn916 A delicious Pinot Noir would go perfectly with this rich fish!
