Hi Donna,

Sounds delicious. Here's a Chicken Piccata you might like to try. This flavorful dish, made with chicken breasts, is light in fat and calories; use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.

Miso Chicken Piccata

Ingredients

3/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth, divided

3 tablespoons yellow miso (soybean paste)

4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup dry white wine

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Combine 1/4 cup broth and miso, stirring well with a whisk until miso dissolves. Stir in 1/2 cup broth. Set aside.

Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Place flour in a shallow dish; dredge chicken in flour.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove chicken from pan. Add wine to pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Reduce heat to medium; stir in miso mixture and garlic. Return chicken to pan; cook 3 minutes or until done. Remove from heat; stir in juice, capers, and pepper. Serve immediately.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half and 1/4 cup sauce)
