Difficult Foods: Chicken Picatta
Here's another one of those foods that people often associate with moderately nice Italian restaurants. It's not something you'd generally see at a Fazzoli's, for instance. Because of that, this sometimes gets lumped into the "fancy" category. It certainly sounds fancy with its foreign name, but it really isn't.
Have you got some chicken, chicken broth, flour, and lemon juice? Then you've got everything you need for the basic dish right there. Sure, there are variations you can put on it. You can modify anything, but the key ingredients are the chicken and the lemon juice.
But before we start, I have to ask: how well do you like lemon? If you don't like it it at all, then this is not for you. It's very lemony, especially my way.
As a side note: glazed carrots go really really good with this. The contrast of the sweet and sour is awesome. They kind of set each other off and make all the flavors pop.
