Chicken Piccata

I recently joined a group called Barefoot Bloggers. It is a bunch of wonderful cooking bloggers who make recipes from the Barefoot Contessa show (Ina Garten) on Food Network. The concept is simple... Each month, two different members from BB chose one of Ina's recipes. Then the entire group makes it and posts about it! If you're looking for more information, visit the BB Blog. The first recipe for March (and my first BB recipe ever!) is Chicken Piccata.

The original, full recipe can be found HERE.

I only made a few changes but I do think they were important ones for our tastes:

• Only using HALF of ONE lemon for the lemon juice. A lot of the reviews I saw said that the dish was far too lemon flavored. I couldn't agree more.
• Adding 1/2 clove pressed garlic to the lemon/wine/butter sauce while it was boiling. This helped take out some of the intense lemon flavor and added that garlic taste that my husband and I love.
• I also added a few shakes of dried parsley to the lemon/wine/butter sauce instead of adding it at the end.
  

This was a great dish though! My husband said it was "homerun" so I was very happy. Thanks to the Barefoot Bloggers for letting me join in on the fun :) I'm looking forward to the next recipe!

I served this with healthy fries and artisan bread. Oh yeah baby, double carb night!
