Best 5 Twisted Chicken Scallopini Recipes

CHICKEN SCALLOPINI

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Dredge each cutlet in flour and shake lightly to remove excess.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat butter until shimmering. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil.
• Add wine and lemon juice to skillet, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Remove from heat and whisk in butter until incorporated. Stir in capers.
• Add chicken and any accumulated juices back to pan. Swirl to coat the chicken with sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

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.

TWISTED CHICKEN SCALLOPINI

Steps:

• Cut blood orange in half and set aside.
• Fill large sauce pan or pasta pan with salted water and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Place flour and seasoned salt in a plastic bag and shake to mix. Add chicken cutlets and shake to cover them. Let them sit for a few minutes to absorb some of the flour mixture and then shake again.
• Melt butter in a larger skillet over medium heat and then add chicken cutlets. Allow chicken cutlets to cook for about 3-5 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Turn cutlets over and then add diced shallots around the chicken. Allow to cook another 3-5 minutes until golden.
• Add the 2 teaspoons chicken base and stir with butter mixture. Now juice the blood orange into the pan and add the 2 teaspoons lime juice and mix juices with the butter mixture. Add the wine and allow it to simmer for 5 minutes. Turn down heat to low and add the heavy cream. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve chicken over pasta along with some of the sauce.

CHICKEN SCALOPPINI WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the flour in a large shallow dish and season with the salt and pepper. Pat the chicken scaloppini dry with paper towels, then put them in the flour, coating the chicken on both sides. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a 14-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken and cook, in batches if needed, until deeply golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a wire rack-lined sheet tray.
• Reduce the heat under the same cast-iron skillet and add the onion, garlic and rosemary. Stir occasionally and cook until the onions are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the butter and capers and scrape the skillet as the butter melts to deglaze. Add the chicken stock and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Add the chicken pieces back to warm through and allow the sauce to reduce, another 2 to 3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken to coat.
• Garnish with the lemon supremes and serve.

• Add salt and pepper to breadcrumbs and stir together. Put breadcrumbs onto a dinner plate or into a ziploc bag, set aside.

• Pour the lemon juice onto a dinner plate and coat both sides of chicken with juice. Dredge chicken in breadcrumbs.
• Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to pan; cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. Remove from pan; keep warm.
