Mallets & Wine (Chicken Piccata)

There are some recipes that I half-jokingly describe as stress-management recipes. These are dishes where you start by literally pounding something (I use a mallet, but whatever) and then open the wine. The classic example in my house is chicken marsala, but chicken piccata comes from the same school. The basic formula is: pound out chicken, lightly bread it, pan fry chicken, make wine sauce with whatever fruits/vegetables you want, mix with chicken. There are a lot of different dishes that strip down to this. This one is full of mushrooms, lemons, capers and white wine.
The twist is you layer the lemons on top of the meat and steam it for a bit.
This is the type of dish that comes together pretty easily, with not a lot of cooking time. It looks fancier than it is, which can be nice sometimes...
Voila
Difficulty Level: Medium
Will It Get Made Again? I could see making this one again if I had some white wine I wanted to use up. I wasn't so blown away that it will go into the standard rotation but I would eat it again.
