Flavorful Chicken Piccata and Pasta. Rich and Bold!
When they say winner, winner, chicken dinner; maybe this is what they were talking about! Our Chicken Piccata and Pasta is full of flavor and a favorite Italian dish. Some Chicken Piccatas look like boiled chicken swimming in sauce. Not this piccata. Its well sautéd chicken accentuates the subtle caramelization and the sauce compliments the pasta. Pairs well with a nice Sauvignon Blanc.
