CHICKEN SCALOPPINE WITH LEMON



Chicken Scaloppine With Lemon image

In order to make this chicken scaloppine, you'll first make a paillard, which just means you'll flatten the thighs by pounding them with a meat pounder, a wine bottle or the bottom of a heavy skillet. That broadens the surface area of the meat, which in turn browns and becomes crisp during cooking. It's delightful with this simple and bright lemon and white wine sauce.

Time 20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

About 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken thighs
Salt
Black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs, or more as needed
3 eggs
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
3 tablespoons butter, plus more as needed
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Slice each chicken thigh open like a book and lay it flat between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat pounder, a wine bottle or the bottom of a heavy skillet, pound each piece of chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Put two large skillets over medium-high heat for a minute or 2. Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and put the flour and bread crumbs on two plates or in two shallow bowls. Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl. Sprinkle all with salt and pepper.
  • Add 1 tablespoon each oil and butter to each skillet and swirl it around. When it is hot - a pinch of flour will sizzle - dredge a piece of the chicken in the flour, then dip it in the eggs and finally dredge it in the bread crumbs. Add the chicken piece to one of the pans, then repeat with another piece in the second pan. (You may be able to fit more than one paillard in each pan at a time.)
  • Cook the chicken, rotating occasionally and regulating the heat if necessary so it sizzles constantly but doesn't burn. When the pieces are brown, after about 2 minutes, turn them over.
  • Cook on the second side until the chicken is firm to the touch, 1 to 2 minutes. (Cut into one with a thin-bladed knife; the center should be white or slightly pink.) Transfer the chicken to a platter and put it in the oven. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more oil and butter to each skillet as necessary.
  • When all the chicken is cooked, turn off the heat under one of the skillets. Add a tablespoon or 2 more oil or butter to the other pan if it looks dry and sprinkle the fat with 2 teaspoons of the remaining flour. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the wine and stir and scrape the pan until the wine has reduced by about half, about 1 minute. Add the stock and lemon juice and cook, stirring, until the mixture is slightly thickened and a bit syrupy, another 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl the pan around until it melts. Add any juices that have accumulated around the cooked chicken, along with the 1/4 cup parsley. Stir, taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

CHICKEN SCALLOPINI



Chicken Scallopini image

While many have heard of veal scallopini, you can make this Italian dish with most any meat or even vegetables. The trick is to use a demi-glace of the same style -- i.e., a venison demi if using deer. You can 'fake' a demi-glace by reducing an appropriate brown stock and adding a water and flour slurry to thicken. Makes an awesome romantic dinner for two.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 clove garlic, pressed
¼ cup butter, softened
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ cup all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 ounces sliced mushrooms
20 capers, or to taste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup white wine
2 tablespoons chicken-flavored demi-glace, or to taste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
2 lemon slices

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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more if needed
1 medium onion, finely chopped

LEMON-CILANTRO CHICKEN SCALOPPINE (SCALLOPINE OR SCALLOPINI)



Lemon-Cilantro Chicken Scaloppine (Scallopine or Scallopini) image

I searched 'Zaar for this and did not find a recipe like this. The spelling of "scaloppine" is per the original recipe. Hopefully people can still find it if the other spellings (scallopine and scallopini) fit in the title. :) My sister sent me the link for this; it's from myrecipes.com but I'm posting here because 'Zaar is really the only place I like to go for recipes. Also I wanted to streamline this a bit. On myrecipes.com, the recipe is posted in two parts; Basic Chicken Scaloppine and the lemon-cilantro addition. My favorite part about this is that it contains ingredients that are safe for my IBS. My second fave part, my sister says her 5-year old daughter (my first niece!) loves this stuff. Copied from the site, but reworded as necessary for 'Zaar's preferences. Serving size per original recipe, but I've approximated prep and cook times. I couldn't figure out how to separate the ingredient list for the Basic Chicken Scaloppine and the Lemon-Cilantro part, so I noted it in the directions. I hope to try this tomorrow. Please let me know how it turns out for you. It appears to be different from other scaloppine recipes posted here. ETA: I just made this tonight; bf really loved this. For the 2 of us, I used only 2 chicken breasts and just over half the amt of flour and a bit less oil, but I kept all other ingreds the same. Bf thought it wasn't nice of me to not make him 2 breasts, that's how much he enjoyed this! I loved this too, and will make this often. I did leave off lemon wedge, and it wasn't really missed. The flavors were wonderful!
