Hope all the mothers out there had a wonderful Mother’s Day! We treated my mom to a brunch cruise on the Steamboat Nachez.
The highlight of the brunch menu was shrimp & grits! Also, there was a fabulous jazz band playing during the cruise. We had a great time with the family! How did you celebrate Mother’s Day?
Light Chicken Piccata
The other day I had a random craving for capers so I decided to cook Chicken Piccata. I modified a recipe from my favorite recipe site!
Ingredients
- boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon light margarine
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup white wine
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons capers
Directions
- Stir together flour, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Heat oil, margarine, and 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice in skillet over medium heat. Dip chicken in flour mixture and place chicken in pan; cook, turning to brown both sides (~15 minutes). Remove chicken to a plate, and keep warm.
- Pour wine into pan and stir in garlic, 1/4 cup lemon juice, water, and capers. Cook until reduced by half.
- Return chicken to the pan, and simmer 4 minutes.
I served over couscous…
It turned out great! Cory & I gave it 8 out of 10 on the taste scale.

I have never cooked with capers. This dish looks so delish, I might have to try it out!
Glad you had a nice Mother’s Day.
Hope all your wedding planning is coming along nicely
Great photos! Sounds you and your mom had a nice Mother’s Day!
Great dish with capers! I love capers. I just used some today in a salmon salad. I also like them with smoked salmon, a little cream cheese, red onions and tomatoes on bagels.
Yum, yum!! I went ‘home’ for Mother’s Day. I made hand-rolled ravioli for 8!! My family had been dying for me to cook since Italy. It was a nice weekend.
I like the tanginess of capers. I use them for seafood pasta. They go really well with light sauces, lemony-creamy flavors. Yuuuummmmy!!
Nope, I’ve never cooked with capers before!! Gl with your wedding planning Kasey!!
Mothers day was great I had fun on the Natchez, great recipe. Sounds good!!!
I love chicken piccata and don’t make it nearly often enough. your’s looks superb! I cook with capers all the time, anytime I want something to taste tangy or salty.
