Stella Notte’s take on chicken piccata cuts out the excess fat in some recipes but saves all the nutrients—and the flavor. Chef and owner Mickey Graham says the restaurant cleans all the fat off its chicken, cooks it in olive oil instead of butter, steams its veggies and even grows the lavender out back. —Rachel Cieri, The Baltimore SunThis recipe was originally published in The Baltimore Sun.
