Healthy Chicken and Mushroom Piccata

The key to making a great chicken piccata is to make sure the chicken breasts are very thin.  This requires less cooking time and no chance of the chicken getting dried out or tough & chewy.

Most chicken piccata recipes are very similar, but I like to add a touch of milk or cream at the end to cut the tartness of the lemon.

If the chicken breasts are thick, cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally and place them between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them thin with a meat mallet or a small skillet.

Adding mushrooms to the chicken adds that additional kick of nutrients,  not to mention just another way to squeeze in an extra serving of vegetables!  So squeeze them in whenever you can!
