LEMON CHICKEN PICCATA

This Chicken Piccata is delicious!

Not only does it taste good but it’s also low in points. Only 3 points per serving for blue and purple, 5 points for green. 

It tastes delicious on its own or with pasta. Since it’s so low in points it’s perfect to pair it with a small side of pasta.
