Best 4 Belindas Version Of Carinos Chicken Scaloppini Recipes

CHICKEN SCALLOPINI

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the garlic and butter until well combined. Set aside. Place a chicken breast half on a work surface with the thick side facing to the right (if you're right-handed), and place your left hand down on the chicken breast. Using a very sharp knife, carefully cut the chicken breast from the thick side to about 1/2 inch from the edge of the thin side, in a horizontal cut. Open the cut chicken breast and spread it out like an open book. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the butterflied chicken breast out until it's an even thickness.
• Place the flour into a shallow dish, and dredge each chicken breast on both sides with flour. Melt the garlic butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it stops foaming, and cook each chicken breast until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Sprinkle each breast with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken breasts to a platter, and keep warm.
• Cook and stir the mushrooms in the same skillet as the chicken until the mushrooms have absorbed the remaining butter in the skillet and have begun to turn brown at the edges. Stir in capers, lemon juice, white wine, and chicken demi-glace, and stir to combine. Reduce to a simmer. Adjust salt and pepper again, and stir the parsley into the sauce.
• Remove the chicken breasts to plates, and serve the sauce over the chicken. Garnish each serving with a lemon slice.

BELINDA'S VERSION OF CARINO'S CHICKEN SCALOPPINI

Steps:

• Cook pasta; drain. (While it is cooking, prepare chicken and veggies, and then sauce.).
• Chicken: Dredge chicken in seasoned flour; melt about 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in large skillet. Cook chicken until lightly browned and just cooked through (don't overcook, or it won't be tender).
• Remove from pan, and keep warm.
• Veggies: Saute the onions (in the remaining butter/oil) until fairly tender. (You could add mushrooms at this point, if desired.) Then add bacon and tomatoes, and toss until heated through. Remove from pan, and add to drained spagetti noodles.
• Sauce: Heat the lemon juice and wine to a boil; simmer and reduce by 1/3. Add cream and simmer until thickened (3-4 minutes). Slowly add butter, and stir until completely melted. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place chicken tenders atop the noodles, pour on the sauce, and gently stir to completely mix all ingredients.
• Update: I tried this, using prebreaded/precooked chicken breast strips (the real thing, not "formed"), which I thawed slightly, and then cooked in the pan (as in the original recipe). I also subbed real bacon bits, for the precooked bacon slices, and chopped tomatoes (from a jar). This cut out some time and steps, and it was still great! I only used 2 sticks of butter, and it's still plenty rich, too.
