If you don't like a strong lemon flavor then cut the lemon juice to 1/3 cup

 "Incredible! Second time making this recipe tonight. First time the 1/4 cup lemon juice was way too much, so I used 1/3 and it was absolutely perfect. The only thing I didn't follow is cooking the garlic first and reserving it. Instead, I added it at the same time as the lemon juice and capers. This will definitely be a weekly meal in my house.

Chicken Piccata Preparation

1. Whisk together flour, black pepper, and paprika in a shallow dish. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, coating evenly; set aside. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; stir and cook the garlic until light brown, about 1 minute. Remove the garlic from the skillet and set aside.

2. Place 2 tablespoons of butter into the skillet with the olive oil. Cook the chicken pieces in the oil and butter over medium-high heat until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

3. Pour the wine into the hot skillet and bring to a boil over high heat, scraping the browned pieces from the bottom and sides of the pan. Boil the wine until it is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the chicken broth, reserved garlic, lemon juice, and capers. Cook for 5 minutes over medium-high heat. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and parsley. Return the chicken pieces to the skillet and continue cooking over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.

4. Remove the chicken pieces to a serve over angel hair pasta and drizzle with a few tablespoons of the sauce and capers.

    I have made this about 4 times now, and keep forgetting to review it. So here is my review. PERFECT!!!
    If anyone has ever had home grown garlic, use it in this recipe. There is nothing else like it.
