Chicken Piccata

[galaneia]

wispfox asked me recently how I make chicken piccata. Which prompted this long-winded thing. I thought I'd post it in case anyone else wanted it (or I go long enough to forget what I'm doing).

The short answer is... there are multiple versions of the recipe depending on how lazy I'm feeling.All the versions have pretty much the same ingredients

... huh. Kate and I have been sitting around the house, desperately not wanting to go out in this today, and resigning ourselves to eating out of the freezer tonight. But I *do* have a pound of chicken cutlets in the freezer, and capers, and lemons. Tempting -- thank you!

You're welcome! I'm glad to enable making a mess in the kitchen.

Your latest version looks like a cross between my chicken piccata recipe and my stir fry anything method (not so much a recipe). Are you happy with it? Because it looks like we could adapt that to Quorn tenders pretty easily.

Smacking the chicken was good on a frustrating day, only I had to be careful not to smite it TOO abruptly or I would be picking bits of chicken off of the table, floor, maybe wall if it escaped the plastic wrap. On terrible, no-good days it was safer to take my frustrations out on bread dough.

I prefer the roux method to corn starch if I have the time, but the cornstarch is fine (just remember the sauce won't be as opaque when you're done). It was originally me finding a way to make a flourless version of piccata (we were briefly avoiding wheat).
