Yum! That sounds delicious! I might make this over the weekend, thanks for sharing!

I made the chicken recipe on Sunday. Thanks for sharing it, it was delicious.

Well, that is tonights dinner sorted! :icon_hungry:

Sounds great, but what do you do if you don't have Pampered Chef Lemon Pepper Rub....gn

Macaroni Grill has a great box mix for Chicken Piccata that all you need is cut up chicken breasts. Available at all our grocery stores. I bet you will LOVE it.

It is comparable in price and easier and yummy. I squeeze some fresh lemon in at the end.

The whole house smells of lemon and garlic and the dish disappears immediately.

Thanks for the review on the Macaroni Grill mix, Gracie. I've seen that at the store and wondered about it.

I used lemon pepper when I made this recipe, it worked great.

GG where in the market do you find the Macaroni Grill. I can't find it and I'm starving.:cryin2: Thanks

I'm not GG, but...I've seen it by the packaged dinners (Hamber Helper aisle).

graciegirl is right! I've used the Macaroni Grill box mix for the Chicken Piccata as well and it turned out great! A must try..very yummy!

Thanks Tracy:thumbup:

Try this recipe using fish -- tilapia piccata -- it is fantastic!
