My take on chicken piccata . The kids always liked it with a lemon herbed couscous. Fresh light no salt added the capers add that. And if ya noticed I left the amount of capers blank. That's up to you . Some like capers some don't add a couple even if you don't want to spoon them on the chicken they add flavor to the sauce. If gluten is an issue. You can skip dredging the chicken . Only difference the sauce will be a bit thinner
