Chickpea Piccata!!!!!!!

If I were asked what my "last meal" would be, I'd tell you in a heartbeat it'd be chicken piccata. Its my favorite! Its lemony, buttery, capers......LOVE it! Well, the other week I came across a recipe for chickpea piccata in a vegan cookbook I knew I had to make it. I'm not gonna lie, I was worried how piccata could be piccata without butter. Well my worrying was for NOTHING! So simple...... I browned some sliced shallot, & garlic in a little evoo & then added panko breadcrumbs(if you don't know about panko..find out!) Once the breadcrumbs were nice & toasty I added veggie broth, dry white wine, salt, pepper & dry thyme. Once it reduced I added chickpeas, capers, & fresh squeezed lemon juice. I also made some quinoa(find out about that too, if you don't know) To serve this I topped the quinoa with some baby arugula & then spooned some of the piccata on top. This meal was beyond FABULOUS! I can't wait to make it again!!
