Chicken Piccata with Pasta & Mushrooms

I loved this recipe! It was much richer and Saucier than the low CAL recipe I’ve been using for years

The whole family loved this including our 10 and 13 year old.

great

This was really tasty and fairly easy to make. The capers are a nice touch, and I think with their inclusion the salt could be reduced (or even eliminated) if so desired.

Pasta with mushrooms is delicious!

No changes made to the ingredients. However I have made them into muffins. When I visit my mom in Houston I bake multiple batches and she freezes them. Superb!

I did take long to prepare, but was flavorful and good to the pallet! - Chase

Very good! It took a while to prepare, but it was worth it. I used a gluten-free all purpose flour blend and gluten-free noodles, and it turned out great! The sauce thickened perfectly. The only thing I would change is adding more lemon flavor and perhaps a little bit of spiciness. I think next time I will add some lemon zest and crushed red pepper.

Excellent remake of a CLASSIC recipe. The whole point of the flavorings is make a briny sauce, so if you don't like briny then don't make it. I simply tossed the cutlets in the all the flour eliminating combining some with the broth because when you deglaze the pan the flour from the chicken creates the sauce and it thickens a little more when you put the chicken back in to blend the flavors for 5-6 minutes at the end. Instead of pasta I use green beans, much healthier choice. I also added the zest of a lemon and used all the juice from the lemon which I heated in the microwave for 30 seconds to increase the juice yield. One of our family favs.

Easy and great as leftovers! This was such a tasty and easy dish to make! I had read it was a little bland, so I added a heaping 1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper to the sauce. I also rinsed the capers before adding them to cut down on the briney taste. It came out great! Pros: simple recipe, freezes well

author needs to look up the definition of Piccata. Author needs to look up the definition of Piccata. It means SPICY! Nothing in this recipe suggest that. It is not a bad dish; however, it is not being sold the right way. Pros: easy to make Cons: won't taste like you would expect

I was very disappointed in this recipe. The ingredients sounded wonderful but when put together just did not taste good. Someone else mentioned a briny taste and that about says it.

Too many capers This is the first eating well recipe that I couldn't eat. I followed the recipe exactly, except I used Wegman's Don't be chicken vegetarian chicken patties because I don't eat meat. They are the only part of the meal that I can eat though. I made a double batch, and my gut told me that 1/4c of capers was too much, and I was right, the sauce had a briney flavor that I just couldn't fix. I might try this again, but without the capers. It's a shame because I had gotten some really nice locally grown mushrooms that had wonderful flavor, and now they will be going in my compost bin. Pros: Has potential

The sauce didn't thicken. Total waste of ingredients, except the chicken, because it wasn't in the pan getting mixed with the awful flavor. Pros: Looks pretty Cons: Takes longer then 40 minutes

Yummy!I've made this twice and my husband and toddler love it. The only thing I'll do different next time is add the flour to the stock while cooking rather than seperately in a bowl. I've had to drain it each time because it's not quite thick enough for my liking and takes forever to reduce. I give it 4.5 stars!Pros: healthy, nice earthy flavorCons: time

Delicious Dish We had this for dinner tonight. It was delicious! We will be having this again and again. It does create a lot of dirty dishes but the clean up is worth all the wonderful flavors in the dish. Pros: tasty, filling, low calorie, very satisfying Cons: dirties up a lot of dishes, big clean up afterwards

This did not turn out well...I am new to cooking, but I've been able to do many of the recipes featured on eatingwell and manage to turn out a half decent meal. This required a lot of ingredients, a lot of time, and it turned out terrible. Of the 30-some meals I've tried on this site, this was by far the worst. Perhaps it was just me, but I would just say not to make it unless you're an experienced cooker.Cons: Lots of Ingredients, Complicated, Tasted Poor

amazing - can't believe it is the healthy alternative I have cooked this twice both time omitting the capers (couldn't locate any at the store) and it was still great. I just love the lemony taste. This is a definitely a keeper. After you make it once, and if you have everything already prepped - it doesn't take a terribly long time Pros: tastes just like a gourmet restaurant dish Cons: none

I can't decide if it's worth the hassle...I've made this twice now and am still mixed on whether or not we love it or it's just "pretty good." It takes longer to prep everything than the recipe says, over an hour at least. It does need a little more sauce than stated, but definitely not double the sauce. The caper taste is pretty strong, so if you're not sure about those, I'd recommend adding a little bit at a time and doing a taste test. I made once with capers and once without. If I made this again with the capers, I'd only use half of what is stated in the recipe. It does have a nice flavor combination and we did enjoy it. But, I just can't decide if it's worth all of the work.

AMAZING! I'm not the best cook, but this recipe turned out amazing! It was easy and absolutely delicious! Who knew eating well could taste so darn good! :) Pros: Easy to make!

Wonderful! This was an easy recipe that yielded a lot of flavor! I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose and was worried that might mess it up, but it came out fine. Pros: Easy

Good Recipe This will definately go into my healthy recipe file. As a diabetic, anything white is like eating sugar so I used organic whole wheat flour instead of white and spelt pasta. Pros: Easy to make, Cons: Prefer W/W unbleached Flour to White

Tweaked it a bit, but still great. I took out the capers and parsley. I used non-fat cooking spray instead of oil. The lemon was a bit strong, so I added a tsp. of brown sugar and a tbls. of low-sodium soy sauce. My husband and I loved it!

There's a reason there are so many positive reviews for this recipe - it's completely delicious and super easy to make, even for a novice chef like me. Like most posters, I also had a heavy hand with the garlic (thumbs up) and used white pasta instead of whole wheat (although I'm sure it's delicious both ways). I made it with portobellos - I definitely recommend doing this. The sauce is incredibly flavorful and fresh tasting, and not heavy like most pastas. I followed the recommended recipe quantities to the letter, and my boyfriend and I loved it so much we finished the whole pot. I will definitely make this recipe again - I can't wait to try it with some peas and chopped prosciutto. Additionally, a commenter suggested making it with asparagus - also sounds yummy. A great tasty, easy and inexpensive recipe everyone would enjoy!!!

Yum!! My husband and I loved it. The mushrooms and the capers made the meal. I'm sort new to the whole cooking thing, and this recipe was easy for me to follow. It was delicious indeed.

I am not a great cook but the taste of this dish came out marvelous!

This was actually restaurant-quality good! I was impressed. I like lemon and garlic, so I added a bit more of each ingredient and it came out perfect. My only complaint was not enough sauce.

OMG this was delicious!! It was quite simple to make as well as cheap, but it tasted like food from a really good restaurant. My boyfriend absolutely loved this. He actually ate slowly for once. He said he didn't want it to end.

My family loved this recipe. However, I did make a few alterations to it. I had almost 2lbs of chicken so I doubled the recipe. First off, I butterflied, pounded, and cut the breasts in fourths. I left out the white wine because I didn't have any at home, added some cornstarch to thicken the sauce, and put in asparagus just to have more veggies. At first I was worried about the sauce being too sour from the lemon juice, but it turned out to be well-balanced in flavor when finished. This recipe is delicious and I will definitely be making it again sometime!

I enjoyed this recipe very much. I'm not usually a big fan of capers, but they do make a nice mustard-y flavor...in fact, it might be a bit boring without them. As with all my recipes, I OD-ed on the garlic (yum!) and forgot to remove the mushrooms before adding the wine & garlic, but no harm there. I may have reduced my sauce too far because based on my impression of the recipe there should have been more once the 1/2 cup was removed. That, and I think using a whole pound of chicken overwhelmed the quantity of noodle and sauce. I think you'd be safe making this with 1/2 - 3/4 lbs chicken. Will make again.

OUTSTANDING! I would put this sauce on anything, I made it with green beans and I as well as my whole family are in LOVE! Cannot wait to make this again!

This is my fav recipe on the site. It's easy, delicious and healthy- the best combo. I skip the mushroom step and have either steamed broccoli or spinch on the side just because I like my plate to have some green. I love the sauce with these veggies.

This recipe was not so great. Maybe it was the capers, but my family and I just didn't enjoy this one so much. I don't see myself making it again. Laura, Glen Burnie, MD
