Flavorful and tender chicken breast cutlets in bright lemon sauce with tangy capers and touch of fresh herbs over pasta… oh, and did I say you can make this in under 30 minutes?

Oh well, my number one problem these days aside from mahirap mag-isip ng ulam … is mahirap din mag-isip ng baon! It’s a good thing that Ykaie sometimes makes a request of what she wants to eat and what she wants for baon. This Chicken Piccata tops the list this week. This pasta dish has easily become her favorite and mine too — because aside from being delicious and healthy, it’s soooo easy to cook as well.

For baon, I put this in her Bubee Lunch Jar which I love so much because it keeps her food warm until lunch time. If you want to buy this for your child, here’s a link: https://tinyurl.com/lunchjar

WATCH THIS CHICKEN PICCATA RECIPE VIDEO

Did you watch the video and see how easy it is to cook this? Saya no? But sometimes, you may find the sauce to be too thin — to make the sauce thicker, you can add 1-2 tbsp of butter towards the end of cooking.

Hope this pasta recipe finds its place in your weekly menu too! Thanks for dropping by today.
