Miso adds a yeasty note to traditional chicken piccata in this recipe that's quick to make. Serve with orzo or rice to soak up the sauce.

Planning on skipping the salt next time. Capers are a must, they bring flavors together. Would have liked more sauce.

This was very good and so quick to prepare. I also used cutlets and a bit more garlic. The reason I gave this 4 stars vs. 5 is that both my mother and I felt that there was something missing in the recipe, but we couldn't quite figure out what it was. Hmmm...

This was terrific! You don't taste the miso but it adds a richer layer of velvety flavor. I used the zest as well as the juice from two lemons. As suggested by another reviewer, I served it with the mushroom orzo which soaked up the delicious sauce. Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely serve this for company.

This was outstanding. The only thing that I did differently was use some leftover sake instead of white wine & I used turkey breast cutlets. I will definately be making this again!

Plenty of sauce with this chicken. I thought at first the lemon taste was overpowering but after a few bites, I realized it was perfect as is. I served it with the Easy Mushroom Orzo which is AWESOME with it. The flavors work great together! It was an easy week night meal but I would serve to company.
