Ingredients
12 oz chicken breast (I use tenderloins)1 cup of diced white onions2 cups of sliced mushroomsZest of 1 lemonJuice of 3 lemons2 cups trader joes FF chicken broth3 cloves of crushed garlic1/8 cup Wondra Quick Thickening Flour1 tsp EVOOGarlic Salt and Pepper to Taste
In a skillet on medium heat at EVOO, garlic, onions, mushrooms, lemon zest and Garlic salt and pepper.
Saute for about 2-3 minutes until onions start to get translucent. Add the chicken and brown on both sides. When brown add the Lemon juice and deglaze the pan scraping up any brown bits. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cover lower the heat and cook until chicken is cooked thru about 6 minutes. Remove cover and turn heat to high, when the sauce begins to boil add the wondra to thicken the sauce (this can be ommitted if you don't want a thicker sauce).
If you like a true picatta you can pound at the chicken flat to reduce cooking time (I use tenderloins and don't pound them flat). Also you can add capers at the end if you prefer.
