Add Some Extra Potatoes – Butter and Lemon

Sometimes we like to add baby potatoes because there is room for them and they come out so tasty. Place the potatoes around the edges of the dish. Use about 6-8 baby red potatoes and drizzle them with oil and then lightly salt & pepper. Cut the potatoes in half if they are small or in quarters if they are larger. Don’t forget to salt & pepper both sides of the chicken before cooking.lemon for the piccata

We also love to dot a little bit of additional butter on top of the chicken before baking and a few extra squeezes of lemon.

If you love capers, add extra of those as well. This dish is about butter – lemon and capers! All the things we love about our beloved piccata dish.
