Steps to make Chicken Piccata Done Light, with Lightly Fried Broccoli and Fennel:

- Slice the breasts down the middle, and then, using parallel cuts, cut three layers out of each half.
- In a separate bowl add the breasts, eggs, and chicken seasonings and zest, stir, and let marinate until all egg is incorporated.
- When the veggies are browned to your taste, and still a little crisp, remove the veggies from the pan, and warm on a dish in the oven at about 170°F.
- Add the additional oil to the former veggie pan and sear the marinated chicken on both sides until both sides have a nice egg-induced mottled brown-gold color, which should pretty much cook it through. Remove to a separate serving plate, and keep warm.
- Reduce heat to low, wait a moment, and when down to temp, toss in the garlic.
- When the garlic is in there a minute or so, deglaze with the wine, and stand back, then stir.
- Let the wine cook off for a couple minutes, and then add the chicken broth and lemon juice.
- Reduce the mixture to desired consistency, and add salt to taste.
- Plate 2 pieces of chicken next to the veggies, and spoon some broth over the top of the chicken.
- Garnish with parsley, capers, and lemon slices, if you like, and serve immediately. Thin strips of chicken will dry quickly.
