This is easily one of my go-to recipes for anywhere or anytime! It is easy to make while camping or in your backyard and it can be scaled to feed as many people as you need. I call it my "Easy Chicken Piccata Recipe for a Crowd " for a good reason, it is almost fool proof, if you keep the easy tips in mind while cooking. To date I have cooked this Chicken Piccata Recipe for groups of 25 to 110 without any changes to the recipe other than scaling for quantity.
