This recipe was 5 stars all the way!!! It rivaled the Cheesecake Factory's Chicken Piccata which is my all time favorite. I did make a few changes based on other reviews and to suit my preference. Like some other reviewers I also like my breaded chicken to be crispy so I followed the recipe for deep south fried chicken on this site for the chicken. I also used 3 big boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in half rather than pounding them thin which I think works better and it holds its shape better. I fried the chicken till it was crispy and browned and fully cooked and then put in the oven to keep warm while I made the sauce. I doubled the sauce, added some dried basil and italian seasoning, also added a couple tblsp of butter. I added the chicken to the sauce to coat right before serving. Served with whole wheat spaghetti and used the extra sauce on the pasta. It was AMAZING! I will be making this once a week!!!!

This is one of my favorite recipes on this site! I've made it more times than I can count. I prefer to double the sauce for spooning over pasta and add capers, otherwise I make it exactly as written. I serve with angel hair.

This was fantastic!!! Just wanted something different to make with chicken breasts but never expected anything this good. Only thing I did (I hate people who change half the recipe and review their version of it) was to sprinkle the finished product with capers. Mmm Mmmmm

Great classic dish made simple. Dredge in egg and flour or flour only, season to taste, either way, its a great dish.

Use 2 Chicken Breasts. Triple Dippings. Double Dip With Flour. More Butter Will Be Needed Along With Equal Parts Olive Oil. As You Cook Chicken Keep Warm In Oven. Double Sauce Except Bouillon(Used 1). Simmer 1 Minute.

It wasn't a wow meal but no one complained and it tasted good. The bread crumbs fell off a bit but helped to thicken the sauce. I used chicken broth instead of bullion.

This is a great and simple meal that made my whole family happy, even my daughter who is something of a finnicky eater cleaned her plate. I served it with boiled red potatoes and steamed brocoli

very good. The breading didn't stick very well, but the flavor was there and it was very easy to prepare.

I don't know what I did wrong, but all of the breading came off the chicken when I used my tongs to bring it from the pan to the plate. My husband said the flavor was "weird." He was outvoted by children who said it was the "best chicken ever."

Chicken was perfect I did do the "double dip" like the others suggested. I had some trouble with the sauce, it was thin but still tasty.

It's been a long time since I cooked meat, so I'll assume the dryness was my fault.

this was very good! I did make some small changes---added more seasoning to the flour, pounded the chicken, browned the chicken in olive oil instead of butter for 2o mins, added a couple cloves chopped garlic and then worked on the sauce. I deglazed the pan with a a splash of dry white wine, added chicken broth, lemon juice and let it reduce a few minutes and then added the chicken breasts back to the pan to thicken the sauce up. Finished with some fresh herbs and lemon slices for color and flavor. I served with egg noodles and some steamed green beans. My picky kids ate it all up and so did my husband. very fast and tasty!

As the recipe is written, this is just a little too bland.

This came out pretty good. I let the flour mixture sit on the chicken in the refrigerator for half an hour before cooking and it worked well. For the sauce, I used cream of chicken soup, fresh lemon jiuce, lemon rind, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Came out nice.

Ok so I followed other reviewers' recommendations for this one. I did marinate the chicken over night in dried seasoning,garlic powder and the juice of one large lemon. I then pounded the chicken breasts.To fry, I dipped in the flour mixture(to which I also added basil),then in the egg one then back to the flour one. This worked out well until the end when the breading started to fall off when I was transferring to a dish. So I made the decision to then make the sauce and not bother to put the chicken actually in it.So while the chicken went into the oven at 240 to keep warm,I used a can of chicken broth and the juice of one whole lemon. The sauce was still bland and VERY lemony so I added black pepper,minced garlic and some dried Italian seasoning, let it boil down. I did add some corn starch to thicken the sauce then just poured the sauce over the warm chicken. I liked the flavour of the chicken a LOT. The sauce was just so-so. This one definitely won't go into regular rotation though.

Contrary to most other reviewers, I did not much care for this. It was a lttle tangy for my taste, I have had other Picattas that had a mellower lemon flavor, which I prefer.
