Question: what is the difference between chicken marsala and chicken piccata?
Answer: Good thing we have meat mallets. Piccata means pounded in Italian. ... My family's traditional chicken piccata is with mushrooms, like the chicken Marsala recipe above, but it can also be made with lemon, or with red wine and radicchio, or with whatever the heck you want. So unless you piccata it, don't call it piccata.
