Piccata Recipes

Good enough for company

This is my own creation. Sweet, mild, healthy, non-fishy tilapia is complimented by lemon, capers, butter, broth, and white wine in this satisfying and deceptively easy meal. I like my piccata lemony with touches of onion, garlic, and capers to round out the taste. This is a basic recipe for 1 lb. of filets. Please reduce this recipe accordingly if you use fewer filets, unless you want the leftunders as lunch or another dinner, like I do, if all is not eaten during the first go-‘round. I am a strong believer in flexibility, so experiment and substitute most any flaky white fish, pounded-flat veal or chicken cutlets, according to your creativity, pantry contents, budget, ingredient-availability, and personal tastes. I would greatly appreciate your feedback on this recipe, including any suggestions, comments, and input. Thank you for reading and trying this recipe! SparkPeople rocks my world!

From semihomemade with sandra lee--I took the capers out since my family will not eat them

Makes 6 (1 cup) servings.

Here's a wonderfuly rich and healthy chicken piccata made with chicken broth, and plain yogurt. At only 450 calories with the pasta per serving and only 10 grams of fat, it's a dish that will keep you and your family happy. Serve it with a nice green veggie like steamed broccoli or kale and you have a complete and well balanced meal. It's sure to satisfy and nobody will know it's healthy....unless you tell them.

Lighter version of Chicken Piccata. This is one of my husband's favorite dishes! A light coating of flour adds just enough breading without all the egg and flour.

Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis, I just removed the butter to make it a more healthy.

Not exactly healthy... needs tweaking

Capers are actually immature buds plucked from a small bush native to the Middle East and Mediterranean regions of the world. Pickled in vinegar brine or packed in salt, they are often displayed in small, narrow jars. To keep the sodium count under control, choose the brine-packed ones.

Easy poached salmon is sophisticated with a creamy caper-and-lemon sauce. Make it a meal: Serve with snow peas or roasted asparagus and a whole grain like quinoa or brown rice.

From "Everyday Italian" by Giada De Laurentiis

I adapted this from Simply Recipes. I cut out the butter to lower fat content and used a combination of whole wheat flour and wheat germ to add fiber and lower carbs. Leaving out the capers lowers the sodium by almost 200mg as well.
