CHICKEN PICCATA
2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts, butterflied and then cut in half
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups all purpose flour, for dredging
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup brined capers, rinsed
1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess.
In a large 10 or 12-inch skillet over medium high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 3 tablespoons olive oil. When butter and oil start to sizzle, add 2 pieces of chicken and cook for 3 minutes. When chicken is browned, flip and cook other side for 3 minutes. Remove and transfer to plate. Melt 2 more tablespoons butter and add another 2 tablespoons olive oil. When butter and oil start to sizzle, add the other 2 pieces of chicken and brown both sides in same manner. Remove pan from heat and add chicken to the plate.
Reduce heat to medium low and add the lemon juice, stock and capers. Return to stove and bring to boil, scraping up brown bits from the pan for extra flavor. Check for seasoning. Return all the chicken to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove chicken to platter. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to sauce and whisk vigorously. Pour sauce over chicken and garnish with parsley.

Here is one that I uncovered. It is pretty easy to make...
Baked Spaghetti
1. Make your Spaghetti noodles & Sauce (However you like to make your Sauce, I usually just buy a jar or two, depending how big of a dish you want to make). Make sure that you have enough sauce so that the dish has extra sauce, or it will be dry.
2. Put a layer of your sauce and noodles down in a baking dish, followed by a layer of mozerella & fresh parmesean cheese. Then put the rest of your sauce an noodles down followed by another layor of mozerella and parmesean.
3. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes, or just watch the cheese, you want to pull it out right about when the cheese is starting to turn a little brown, not after its just melted.
4. Serve with garlic bread....
This dish is great left over food for the next day as well, I am assuming it would probably make a good potluck dish too.
