I love Chicken Piccata – it’s one of my simple go-to dishes that both my daughter Sam and I love, and it takes just minutes to make. Erika, the Founder of GFF Magazine feels the same way – Chicken Piccata is one of the dishes her daughter Viva will always say yes to! I took Erika’s Gluten Free version – the one she featured in the first issue of GFF – and made it Paleo-Friendly too. Give it a try & let me know what you think – I’m betting this Chicken Piccata will be a hit in your house too
