Lemon Chicken Picatta


So I thought I would post a dinner item, I make them every night but usually have to eat in a hurry so no time for pictures!

here is a great dinner idea and its only 350 cals per serving! ( 1 serving =1/4 recipe)



 

  • 3 large lemons, divided
  • 4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 lb./450 g)
  • 1/4 cup Miracle WhipCalorie-Wise Dressing
  • 22 Ritz Crackers, finely crushed (about 1 cup)
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup 25%-less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 Tbsp. butter

How you make it :

  1. Cut 4 thin lemon slices from half of 1 lemon. Squeeze juice from remaining lemons; set aside. Coat chicken with Miracle Whip, then cracker crumbs.
  2. Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 5 min. Turn; cook on medium heat 5 min. or until chicken is golden brown on both sides and done (170ºF). Transfer chicken to platter; sprinkle with parsley. Cover to keep warm. Carefully wipe out skillet with paper towel.
  3. Add lemon juice and broth to skillet; cook on medium-high heat 6 to 8 min. or until slightly reduced, stirring occasionally. Add butter and lemon slices; cook and stir on low heat 3 to 4 min. or until butter is melted and lemons are heated through. Serve over chicken.
