Chicken Piccata Pasta

This weekend I shared my full-proof plan for shredding chicken. And now I just HAVE to share one delicious creation that was inspired by simple shredded chicken. Chicken piccata pasta. You heard right! All of the lemony goodness that comes with chicken piccata served on top of your favorite pasta!

Here’s the kicker: my chicken piccata is lighter and healthier than your standard chicken piccata because I opt out of breading the chicken and pan-frying it. I also limit the amount of butter in the piccata sauce. I know I sound like the chicken piccata party pooper… but believe me, once you try this lighter sauce you will only go back to the full-fat version when you order it at an Italian restaurant! Or if your Italian grandmother makes it for you. Never turn away food from grandma…
