ooooo chicken picatta I have yet to find a fabulous recipe... Looks pathetically..

[madkestrel.livejournal.com]

I started to post the recipe, until I got started and realized I have no idea how much of anything I use! I know I always use the whole 2.5 pound bag of flash frozen chicken tenderloins. I thaw them, cut them each in half so they're thin like scallopini, then dredge them in seasoned flour and fry them in olive oil and drain.

While they're draining, I pour off all but a couple tblsp of the oil, return it to the heat, and add butter, capers, lemon juice and white wine. I bring that to a boil, return the chicken to the pan, reduce the heat and cover, and let it simmer for about twenty minutes.

Next time I make it, I'll pay more attention to the amounts. :D
At which point the boys are usually hanging over the pan, demanding to know when it'll be ready. *sigh* If I'm lucky, I get seconds (which I pack for lunch the next day.)
