Chicken Scaloppine With Limoncello Sauce image

I came up with this recipe in a effort to create a chicken dish that uses Limoncello. The sauce is so good! The capers add a salty pop that is countered well with the sugary Limoncello. Limoncello does not have the acidity of fresh lemons, if you LOVE lemon flavor, add a Tablespoon of lemon juice as well. Bon Appetite.

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded to 1/3 inch)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 egg
3/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs or 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 pinch rosemary
1 pinch thyme
1 pinch marjoram
1 pinch sage
fresh ground black pepper or lemon pepper
kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup chicken broth
6 tablespoons limoncello
1 -2 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
3 teaspoons capers
4 -5 lemon slices
fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Whisk mustard and egg in a small bowl.
  • Put bread crumbs on a large shallow plate and top with equal big pinches of rosemary, thyme, marjoram and sage and a few cranks of the pepper mill. Literally pinch the herbs to help release the flavor. Sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt (or more if you like salt) and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly with your fingers.
  • Heat oil and butter in a large saute pan on medium-high heat.
  • Dip the breasts in egg/mustard mixture and dredge in crumbs.
  • Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes a side, or until it is no longer pink inside and the crumbs are a nice golden color. Remove and transfer to a plate to keep warm.
  • Add broth and limoncello to the empty pan and scrape the brown bits with a rubber spatula. If you are adding lemon juice for a more lemony flavor add it now.
  • Add capers, lemon slices and parsley and stir to combine. Steep for about two minutes. The sauce will rapidly evaporate so watch it carefully.
  • Place chicken breasts on plates and top with the cooked lemon circles and spoon sauce over chicken.

I had a hard time finding limoncello at my local store, but I was able to find it online.

The sauce was a bit too tart for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding a little bit of sugar.
