Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This was a home run and a 5* recipe in my book. Quick, ingredients I usually have on hand, flavourful and toddler and hubby loved it! I've always heard of chicken piccata and never tried it until now.

    Also served with lemon orzo. Excellent combination. All came together quickly after prepping ingredients.

    Chicken breasts are cut horizontally, then pounded a bit to flatten. They are seared in oil and butter, then set aside. Vermouth, lemon juice, and butter go into the same pan, swirling until the butter is melted, then capers and parsley are added. All is dumped on the chicken and served. I used my monster capers because, well, because we love them. Capers are my vegetable of choice. I served the chicken with tomatoes stuffed with a soufflé I had made for NY eve, which went into the freezer due to the onset of the fluzies. So nothing wild, and no international flavors, but quite lovely, and completely satisfying.
