This was good (I used chicken) but I prefer the CL "Chicken Piccata with Capers" from September 2006 better.

I've made this before and the entire family liked it. It was a little tangy for my youngest but I think we should try it again with a little less wine. And to the reviewer who said the was "the same dry tasteless chicken", perhaps you are overcooking your chicken! When cooked properly chicken breast are tender and juicy!

Very easy. Made to recipe except recommend always rinse then drain capers to get a "cleaner" taste. Served with steamed green beans & a simple pilaf. Pear-gorgonzola-walnut green salad to finish. Quick and good.

I made some slight changes; dusted turkey with flour before browning, added between 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon each of sugar and salt to the sauce at the end to cut a little of the sourness from the lemon and bump up the flavor a bit. That said, I thought it was a pretty good week night meal, served with whole wheat orzo pasta and SL Brown Sugar & Bacon Brussels Sprouts, the turkey was very tender and moist. My daughter thought it was good.

Didn't care for it. I made it with halved chicken breasts which took considerably longer than four minutes to cook. It was the usual dry, tasteless chicken breast with a little tangy sauce on top. I won't be making this again.
