I made this for dinner tonight and it tasted fabulous. It was the best Chicken Picatta recipe I have ever had. Personally, I serve it with garlic mashed potatoes. (I save the little garlic containers I get from Papa John's Pizza and mash them into my potatoes - easy and yummy). Ingredients:
24 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, split and pounded flat (4, 6 oz. portions) |
1 cup flour, seasoned with |
salt and black pepper |
3 whole eggs |
1/3 cup fresh parmesan cheese, grated (preferably a combination of grated parmesan and romano cheese) |
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped |
1 tablespoon fresh basil |
3/4 cup olive oil (or as needed) |
1/4 cup shallot, finely chopped |
1 tablespoon garlic, chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh marjoram, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1 tablespoon lemon zest |
