BELINDA'S VERSION OF CARINO'S CHICKEN SCALOPPINI



Belinda's Version of Carino's Chicken Scaloppini image

I took a copycat Macaroni Grill recipe and adapted it to have "Carino's ingredients" (except for mushrooms, which I don't care for, but you could add them with the onions, if desired). My friends and I, who are all Carino's Chicken Scallopini freaks LOVED this! Hope you do, too!

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 ounces lemon juice
3 ounces white wine
4 ounces heavy cream
3/4 lb butter
1 3/4 lbs chicken tenders (or boneless breasts, pounded thin)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/2-3/4 cup flour, seasoned with garlic pepper salt
12 slices pre- cooked bacon, chopped
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
1/2 onion, thinly sliced (I used purple, for color)
12 ounces thin spaghetti, cooked

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.

CHICKEN SCALOPPINE LIKE CARINO'S



Chicken Scaloppine Like Carino's image

I had to try to find a recipe for this. It is scrumptious! From Uncle Phaedrus' website. EDIT 2/18/2013 - Having made this several times, and taking one of the reviews in to account, I've decreased the salt to 1/2 teaspoon and changed the 1 tsp of garlic salt to 1/2 tsp garlic powder. In cooking, I've also made the change to A) dredge the chicken breasts in flour prior to sauteing, and B) remove them to a warmer while making the sauce, then spooning the sauce over the crispy scallops when plating. This is now EVEN BETTER! :)

TWISTED CHICKEN SCALLOPINI



Twisted Chicken Scallopini image

This is a twist on the traditional chicken scallopini. Rather than lemon juice, this uses blood orange and lime juices and shallots in place of the normal garlic. My family just loved this version. Serve over pasta of your choice and salad or green beans and garlic bread.

CHICKEN SCALLOPINI

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 28m

Yield 4 chicken breast halves, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 teaspoons capers
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Add salt and pepper to breadcrumbs and stir together. Put breadcrumbs onto a dinner plate or into a ziploc bag, set aside.
  • Place two chicken breast halves into a ziploc bag, remove air, and seal; pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Do the same with the other two breast halves.
  • 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.
  • Add broth and wine to pan, and cook two minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in capers and butter.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best results, use thin-sliced chicken breasts or scaloppini for this recipe.
  • Pounding the chicken breasts helps tenderize them and ensures even cooking.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before dredging in flour.
  • Use a combination of butter and olive oil to cook the chicken. This prevents the butter from burning and adds flavor to the dish.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Add the mushrooms and shallots to the pan and cook until softened.
  • Deglaze the pan with white wine and let it simmer for a few minutes to reduce.
  • Add the chicken broth, cream, and Parmesan cheese and bring to a simmer. Stir until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the chicken scaloppini over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Belinda's version of Carino's Chicken Scaloppini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is creamy and rich. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
