CHICKEN SCALLOPINI

Recipe Directions

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, shaking off any excess.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
4. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the white wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
6. Stir in the minced garlic, capers, and lemon juice. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
7. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top.
8. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken and sauce.
9. Serve the Chicken Scallopini hot, garnished with lemon slices if desired.

Kitchen Equipment Needed

To make Chicken Scallopini, you’ll need the following kitchen equipment:

• Meat mallet or rolling pin for pounding the chicken breasts
• Large skillet

Leftover Storage

If you have any leftover Chicken Scallopini, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the chicken and sauce in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, adding a splash of chicken broth or white wine if needed to prevent the sauce from drying out.

Serving Suggestions

Chicken Scallopini is delicious served with pasta, rice, or crusty bread for soaking up the flavorful sauce. You can also pair it with a simple side salad dressed with vinaigrette or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. For added freshness, garnish the dish with lemon slices and chopped parsley before serving.
