Chicken Piccata

I get my recipe ideas from websites but also from magazines. For two years, I had a subscription to EW. I found the recipe for chicken piccata my favorite dish from the cheesecake factory. Unfortunately, this dish isn't quite as tasty as the one from the Cheesecake Factory but it is a lot healthier!
Serves: 4

Ingredients:
- 8 boneless, skinless, thin-cut chicken cutlets (12lbs)

- 4 tsp. cornstarch. dissolved in 2 tsp of water
