A bigger piece of corn bread would be nice to have. But really good.

Chicken Picatta

I wasn’t a fan of this one. I probably should have heated it in the oven; I microwaved it for 3 minutes and the chicken was rubbery. It was also really salty. I think my portion had too many capers.

Good overall flavor. Pasta nicely al dente. Chicken was very tough chewy and grisly inedible bits. Needs better chicken

One delicious balanced bite with egg cheese and broccoli. The rest was 95% broccoli.
