Chicken Piccata

By: Cynthia Heil 
"Laced with lemon and simmered in white wine, this easy stovetop entree couldnt be more elegant. An added bonus? It fills the house with a wonderful aroma. Just add a salad, bread and veggies and this makes a great meal for company, says contributor Cynthia Heil of Martinez, Georgia."
