LEMON CHICKEN SCALOPPINE LIKE T.G.I. FRIDAY'S
Creamy lemon and white wine sauce over sautéed chicken, mushrooms, and artichokes served atop a bed of angel hair pasta, and then sprinkled with pancetta and capers. This was my favorite thing to order when we go to Fridays. It is no longer on the menu but now I can make it at home! I got this from Robbie's Recipes. Not exactly low in calories but definitely worth it every now and then.

CHICKEN PICCATA WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS
After eating chicken piccata in many restaurants and finding many that were 'greasy,' I came up with this recipe through much trial and error. It has wonderful flavor and is even better the next day! I like to serve it over angel hair pasta or linguine.
