CHICKEN SCALOPPINI WITH PEPPERS AND MUSHROOMS RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:

• 1. Working with 1 breast at a time, starting on thick side, cut breasts in half horizontally. Using meat pounder, gently pound each cutlet into even 1/2-inch thickness between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Pat cutlets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper; set aside. 2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, shallot, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until liquid has evaporated and vegetables begin to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add capers and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth and wine and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Cook until slightly thickened and mixture is reduced to 2 cups (measured with vegetables), about 8 minutes. Set aside in measuring cup. Wipe out skillet with paper towels. 3. Spread flour in shallow dish. Working with 1 cutlet at a time, dredge cutlets in flour, shaking off excess, and transfer to plate. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in now-empty skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add 3 cutlets and cook until golden and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Repeat with remaining 3 cutlets and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. 4. Discard any oil remaining in skillet. Return sauce to now-empty skillet and bring to boil. Once boiling, remove skillet from heat and whisk in butter. Stir in any accumulated juices from platter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon sauce and vegetables over chicken. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve.

Steps:

• Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to get 4 thin cutlets.
• Place each cutlet between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and lightly pound to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Spread the flour on a plate and dredge the chicken pieces in it, lightly coating both sides. Shake off any excess flour.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the chicken pieces (work in batches if necessary) and cook 4-5 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown. Flip and cook another 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
