Chicken Limone

Servings:

Chicken limone is a luscious way to prepare chicken cutlets. The lemon pan sauce, with shallots for a sweet onion note, and just a touch of cream, really boosts the flavors of the browned bits that remain in the pan. It's well-balanced, with great lemon flavor but no sour notes. Like chicken piccata without the salty capers, it's a great quick dish for a weeknight dinner with friends.
