Any kind of piccata!

This is such an easy Piccata recipe that you can use either chicken, turkey or pork. It takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish and it tastes amazing. Give it a try and let me know!

1-2 lemons
1 tbl fresh parsley
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
About 4 thin chicken/turkey/pork cutlets. ( You can always pound them thin if needed - about 1/2 inch thick at most )
1 tbl butter (maybe more) =)
1/2 cup fat free chicken broth
1 garlic clove, pressed
2 tbl capers rinsed and drained

Zest lemons and also juice the lemons
In separate shallow dish, mix flour salt and pepper (NOTE: I probably added more salt/pepper and I also included Italian seasoning mix, you really need to add a lot of flavor to the meat & the flour)
Heat skillet and melt butter
Coat meat in flour mixture and shake off any excess, then put meat in skillet with melted butter,
cook a couple minutes each side until browned
Remove meat from skillet, then add broth, lemon juice, zest, garlic and heat until slightly thickened just a few minutes, add remaining butter to skillet and swirl until melted.
Pour sauce over cutlets and top with parsley and capers.

YUM!
