The Best And Easy Healthy Chicken Piccata Pasta Home Made Recipe
Chicken Piccata Pasta – Light and delicious pasta prepared in one pot with chicken and a fantastic lemon-capers sauce.
Oh PICCATA PASTA! What can I even say? We (mostly my carb-obsessed husband and daughter) heart this lightened-up, carb lovers spin on chicken piccata. It’s basic, it’s wonderful, and it all takes place in just one pot WINNING!
How you doin’, by the way?? I’m still trying to adjust to Fall. Having a hard time saying goodbye to warm weather. Nonetheless, I whipped out the orange and brown decor, but I have yet to decorate with it… I got pumpkins, too!
Doesn’t this pot of Chicken Piccata Pasta also remind you of Fall? ME NEITHER! Even so, there’s lemon in it and lemon is totally in-season.
If you’ve been hanging out with me for a while, you will know that I have a thing for cooking together a main dish + a side dish all in the same pot.
