Chicken Piccata

We’re not flinching, BarbC! We’re all for short-cuts, especially when, as you say, you can make a few alterations to make them healthier.

I confess I started out with a packaged mix, and although that might make the editors here at DIR flinch, it really wasn’t that bad when I added up the calories and made a few changes to the recipe.

The chicken tenders were browned in olive oil instead of butter and about two cups of steamed spinach was added to the wine-flavored sauce. According to nutritional information, it was a little high on the sodium, but calorie count for this portion was under 500 calories.
