Chicken Scallopini

Servings:

This chicken scallopini with piccata sauce makes an awesome romantic dinner for two. Many have heard of veal scallopini, but you can make this Italian dish with any meat or vegetables. The trick is to use a demi-glace of the same style; for example, a venison demi-glace if using deer.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Place flour into a shallow dish. Mix butter and garlic together in a small bowl until well combined.
  2. 2 Use a very sharp knife to slice horizontally through the thick part of each chicken breast to about 1/2 inch from the thinner edge; be careful not to cut all the way through. Open each breast like a book and place onto a work surface. Gently pound each breast to a uniform thickness, then dredge on both sides with flour.
  3. 3 Melt garlic butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it stops foaming. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Remove to a platter and cover to keep warm.
  4. 4 Cook mushrooms in remaining butter in the skillet until beginning to turn brown at the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in wine, demi-glace, lemon juice, and capers. Reduce the heat to a simmer, season with salt and pepper, and stir in parsley.
  5. 5 Transfer chicken to plates and spoon sauce over top. Garnish with lemon slices.
