Week 7- Chicken Almost-Piccata

I'm a little behind on the blog, but I'm still keeping up with the resolution. Last week, I decided to give Giada another try- this time with a recipe for Chicken Piccata. It was a really easy recipe and everything was going nicely until I realized that I didn't actually have any lemon juice. (Capers yes, but no lemon juice. Sigh.) Instead of lemon juice, I substituted some white wine- which actually turned out pretty well. Score one for resourcefulness!

Recipe- Chicken Piccata by Giada DeLaurentis (Everyday Italian, available on Food Network website)
Modifications- Left out butter. No lemon juice, so used white wine instead.
Reactions- Dad and Bryan really liked it (although they pushed away the capers and parsley.) Claudia didn't want to try it. Not even off my plate.
Notes- I think Claudia was just in a bad mood, so I will probably try this one again- with actual lemon juice next time!
