Chicken Scallopini

A delightful chicken scallopini dish that features tender chicken breast, flavored with garlic and accompanied by a savory sauce with mushrooms and lemon.

Ingredients

  • all-purpose flour (0.5 cup)
  • butter (0.25 cup)
  • garlic (1 clove)
  • chicken breast halves (2 )
  • salt (0 )
  • ground black pepper (0 )
  • sliced mushrooms (4 ounces)
  • white wine (0.25 cup)
  • chicken-flavored demi-glace (2 tablespoons)
  • lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
  • capers (20 )
  • fresh parsley (1 teaspoon)
  • lemon slices (2 )

Instructions

  1. Place flour into a shallow dish. Mix butter and garlic together in a small bowl until well combined.
  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. 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. 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. Transfer chicken to plates and spoon sauce over top. Garnish with lemon slices.
