How do you make chicken picatta?
Pound thin slices of chicken breast or cutlets. Dry them and add salt and pepper and dredge in flour. Set aside. In a skillet heat butter and a little olive oil on medium high, brown chicken cutlets quickly, on both sides no more than 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from pan. To the same pan add a cup of chicken stock, 1/2 cup of white wine (optional), 1/4 cup capers, 2 tablespoons or more of fresh chopped parsley, and stir scraping all the bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Then add cutlets back in the pan with the sauce and it will begin to thicken. If you want to add sliced fresh mushrooms, do it here, cook for a minute more. Adjust S&P and lemon juice to taste. Serve over pasta with Parmesan cheese and lemon wedges on the side.

Chicken piccata, help!?
No, it will not keep it from technically being a piccata. "Piccata is an Italian word. It is sometimes wrongly spelled "picatta" or "pichotta." The word "piccato", to which it may be related, may be a translation of the French piqué, past participle of piquer ("to prick, lard"), though it doesn't seem to fit the culinary use of the Italian term which means "to be pounded flat". In Italian it is used only in reference to a way of preparing food. When used in reference to a way of preparing food, particularly meat or fish, it means "sliced, sautéed, and served in a sauce containing lemon, butter, and spices, usually parsley." The best known dish of this sort (in the United States) is chicken piccata, using chicken, but the term originated and is most commonly used, in Italy, with veal (veal piccata). "
What wine goes with Chicken Piccata?
I would probably choose one of these 2 wines: Gewurztraminer: Gewurztraminer has a spicy aroma and fruity flavors of peach, apricot, tropical fruits, and lychee. It can be a dry or sweet white wine. Pinot Grigio: Pinot Grigio is light and crispy with almond, lemon, and vanilla flavors. These wines are also called Pinot Gris.

What type of wine should i use in my chicken piccata?
for piccata, you need a DRY white, not a sweet one, so the reisling especially is out. I'd go with the sauvignon blanc, and two-buck Chuck is fine; you do not need an expensive wine as long as it tastes pleasant to you.

Does anyone know the recipe for the Chicken Piccata sauce that Johnny Carino's used to serve?
It's like a lemon cream sauce and as far as I know they don't make that dish anymore, but I can still ask for the sauce. It would be really nice if I knew how to make it.
I cannot decide between chicken parmesan, chicken picatta, or chicken marsala...?
Chicken Parm is the heaviest of those, with it having all that sauce and cheese. Sides: Sautéed broccoli, and spaghetti with garlic and olive oil. Chicken Piccata is the lightest -- just a simple lemon butter and caper sauce. I would suggest either broccoli or asparagus as a vegetable side, and some linguine in a vodka (or just plain tomato) sauce. Chicken Marsala would be somewhere in between, not too saucy, but it has the rich flavor of mushrooms and red marsala wine. Just about any veggie would go well with this, but like I broccoli (as you can probably tell). Either linguine or penne with tomato sauce. It really depends on what you (and he) is in the mood for -- all three are great dishes. But, if I were to choose at this moment, I would go with... Marsala. You can also serve it with toasted sourdough bread (you can have the garlic or leave it -- you can use it just to soak up the sauces too). Be sure to have some parmesan cheese for the pasta, and you're good!
