CLEAN Chicken Piccata

Yes, I love lemon.  It's part of a Mediterranean culture that brings warmth to my heart not because of who I am, but because of people that I love.   Tonight I bring you a CLEAN chicken piccata.

The recipe I adapted for tonight's meal is from Clean and Delicious.  I added some shallots to the pan first them let the recipe carry me through. Through her link, you can find the nutritional details of the chicken portion of the meal.

I added in some green beans that I steamed then blanched then sauteed with some olive oil and kosher salt topped with a sprinkled of lemon juice to the top.  The kids like them, primarily because they can use their hands to eat and greens can't be bad for the body.  I decided to steam the kale and sprinkle on some feta cheese.  I bought a fair amount that I have and I have to use it.  Bad enough I had to throw away a container of arugula tonight.  Lemon juice made it's appearance again as I topped the kale with a dash of lemon with Feta Cheese.

What you see below is CLEAN chicken piccata, green beans and steamed kale with feta cheese and it's what was for dinner tonight.




A few things I want you to know is that you can use either fresh or frozen green beans.  I bought a generic store brand that worked fine.  It helps to steam them then blanched them. If you don't do that, they can overcook if you just add them into a saute pan.  

If you love chicken piccata like I do, you will enjoy this recipe.  It doesn't take more than 30 minutes to prep and cook.  Manage your time with the sides and it will be a quick meal.  Trust me.  My day was full but we were able to all eat at the dinner table by 7pm.  Dessert, clean up then bedtime.
