OMG. My kids love chicken Picatta, and it takes a bit more prep than I like, but this recipe is now on our permanent rotation! We substituted Quinoa penne pasta, and used heavy whipping cream, but followed everything else exactly! The kids asked for the leftovers in their lunchbox tomorrow! A++ - 1/26/16
