Chicken Piccata with Whole Wheat Pasta






So tonight I had to decide between fish or chicken, but during my browsing I found a recipe I thought sounded good & used capers, which I've kind of been looking for. Also with the chicken piccata, I got to use my pasta maker again. I wish I had looked the recipe up in my Test Kitchen "best of" recipes, because if I had checked more closely I would have known it was a lemony flavored sauce. I like lemon, but this sauce tasted of lemon and was bland at the same time. I liked it better as I ate more of it, the hightlights being the whole wheat pasta that I made and the capers which added briney, salty bursts of flavor.

I'm not sure if I would make this sauce again, I wasn't too impressed & I think there are probably better tasting sauces out there. The pasta was worth the effort & the recipe was large enough that I put several servings of fettucini in the freezer.
