VEAL PICCATA
Here's our take on the delicious Italian classic piccata recipe but without all the fat. This recipe works well with chicken, too, but we love using decadent veal cutlets. After pan-frying the flour-coated veal in olive oil, make the sauce by deglazing the pan with chicken broth, fresh lemon juice, and white wine. Swirl in the butter, fresh parsley, and drained capers for a savory, rich sauce right before serving. For added indulgence, you can serve the veal over any type of whole wheat pasta, or you can also make a simple side salad with mixed greens to complete the meal.

- Use a large skillet to sear the veal cutlets. This will prevent overcrowding and ensure that the cutlets cook evenly.
