Giada Piccata Simmer Sauce

I was browsing at Target when I came across a new Giada de Laurentiis section. I love her Chicken Piccata recipe, so I decided to try this Picatta simmer sauce. I almost cry when I find pasta sauces that don't have tomatoes in it! But, sometimes when I get really excited about tomato-free products, I tend to forget to make sure it's also dairy-free. This one is NOT DAIRY FREE. Oopsie! I decided to make it anyway (well, to be honest, I had already started) and now I have this lovely product review for you!

 The directions are pretty simple and are printed right on the jar.

Melt 2 Tbsp butter (I guess it doesn't matter if it's dairy-free butter at this point...!) in large skillet. Add 3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in to bite-sized strips. Cook until no longer pink in center. Add 1 jar sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in 1 Tbsp butter and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve with orzo or other pasta and sautéed spinach.

The meal was quick and easy to fix. I boiled my regular ol' spaghetti while the chicken was cooking and simmering. Added some dry parsley before serving it to my husband. Took probably 15 minutes to make, very fast.

It's not as tasty as her original Chicken Piccata recipe, but if you're in a hurry, this will work. It's also a little more on the tangy side.

As for my husband, he didn't eat the leftovers =(
