In my quest to lose weight, I take a lot of low fat frozen dinners to work. One of my favorites was a low fat wersion of Chicken Piccata. I experimented with a Chicken Piccata Recipe and made my own low fat version that was just as tasty. To quote a well known beer slogan "Tastes great less filling..."

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons ground pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup low-fat chicken broth
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Directions

1
Combine flour, salt and pepper, and put in a large plastic bag.
2
Pour milk in a shallow bowl, and dip each chicken breast in milk.
3
Place chicken in plastic bag and shake to coat each piece with the flour mixture.
4
Heat olive oil in a medium frying pan and brown chicken breats,@ five minutes on each side until golden brown.
5
Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
6
Add broth, Worcestershire sauce, and cook until heated through.
7
Add lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch.
8
Stir and cook for@ 5-7 minutes until sauce comes to a boil.

We all thought this was pretty good. I cut the sugar in half, and was glad I did. I think it would have been too sweet for out taste with the full amount. I also wish I would have added a bit more corn starch - it didin't thicken up too much. When I first tasted the sauce, I was afraid we weren't going to like it, but once it was on the chicken, it was really tasty. I'm sure I'll be trying this again, as I'm constantly trying to cook lower fat meals. Thank you!

This recipe was fabulous!! I've tried many different recipes and this one is by far the best. I made a few changes. I only used 1tsp each of the S&P. It wouldn't be Chicken Piccata without the capers.

Fabulous! I added some garlic to the oil and sauteed the chicken in that and I added 1 small jar of capers to the sauce to make it more "authentic" The addition of the capers make it taste more like true picatta and also add that extra zip to solve the blandness problem of the previous reviewer had. had
