    If you have never tried the buttery and lemony goodness that is Chicken Picatta, you are missing out!  This particular recipe comes straight from my mom, so the secret ingredient is… you guessed it – Love.  Actually, you could make this recipe while extremely angry and it would still come out great!  It is really hard to screw up.

    Before you look at the recipe, this does use a half stick of butter, and I definitely recommend following it.  While that seems like a lot, this makes 4-6 portions, so keep in mind that each portion will only have at most a tablespoon of butter.  But it’s so good that you might end up eating 2 portions… like I just did last night.

    If you don’t feel like buying a lemon or two at the store, that lemon juice sitting in your fridge would also work.

    Need to eat gluten-free?  Simply substitute the flour with a gluten-free flour.  The picture above is actually 100% gluten-free, including the pasta.
