CHICKEN PICCATA FETTUCCINE
This recipe is a WINNER in my family! The sauce, light and tasty served over warm fettuccine will please everyone's palette. If you brine your chicken breast before, the meat will be even better and very very moist (BRINE: 8 cups water + 1/4 cup salt + chicken breasts. Let chicken marinate in water and salt for 4 hours or over night if you have the time, but 4 hours is fine for me)

CHICKEN PICCATA PASTA
I came up with this recipe while contemplating what to do with leftover chicken. It turned out so good, I had to post it to preserve it. I didn't add all of the cooked pasta to the pan so I could preserve some for kids, and because I like a lot of sauce to cover my noodles.

- Use Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken piccata is a quick-cooking dish, so be careful not to overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
- Use a Good Quality White Wine: The white wine you use in your piccata sauce should be a good quality dry white wine. A good choice is a Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.
- Don't Skimp on the Butter: Butter is an essential ingredient in piccata sauce. It adds richness and flavor to the sauce. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of butter.
- Serve Immediately: Chicken piccata is best served immediately after it is cooked. The sauce will start to thicken as it sits, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.
