Traditional Chicken Piccata usually features boneless chicken breast (and waaaay more calories) but in this version from our NewMeMD wellness team, we use chicken thighs that are lightly breaded and cooked in a mixture of lemon juice, broth and capers instead. Try this hCG -friendly recipe for dinner tonight!
