CHICKEN SCALOPPINE WITH LEMON



Chicken Scaloppine With Lemon image

In order to make this chicken scaloppine, you'll first make a paillard, which just means you'll flatten the thighs by pounding them with a meat pounder, a wine bottle or the bottom of a heavy skillet. That broadens the surface area of the meat, which in turn browns and becomes crisp during cooking. It's delightful with this simple and bright lemon and white wine sauce.

Time 20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

About 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken thighs
Salt
Black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs, or more as needed
3 eggs
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
3 tablespoons butter, plus more as needed
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Slice each chicken thigh open like a book and lay it flat between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat pounder, a wine bottle or the bottom of a heavy skillet, pound each piece of chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Put two large skillets over medium-high heat for a minute or 2. Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and put the flour and bread crumbs on two plates or in two shallow bowls. Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl. Sprinkle all with salt and pepper.
  • Add 1 tablespoon each oil and butter to each skillet and swirl it around. When it is hot - a pinch of flour will sizzle - dredge a piece of the chicken in the flour, then dip it in the eggs and finally dredge it in the bread crumbs. Add the chicken piece to one of the pans, then repeat with another piece in the second pan. (You may be able to fit more than one paillard in each pan at a time.)
  • Cook the chicken, rotating occasionally and regulating the heat if necessary so it sizzles constantly but doesn't burn. When the pieces are brown, after about 2 minutes, turn them over.
  • Cook on the second side until the chicken is firm to the touch, 1 to 2 minutes. (Cut into one with a thin-bladed knife; the center should be white or slightly pink.) Transfer the chicken to a platter and put it in the oven. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more oil and butter to each skillet as necessary.
  • When all the chicken is cooked, turn off the heat under one of the skillets. Add a tablespoon or 2 more oil or butter to the other pan if it looks dry and sprinkle the fat with 2 teaspoons of the remaining flour. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the wine and stir and scrape the pan until the wine has reduced by about half, about 1 minute. Add the stock and lemon juice and cook, stirring, until the mixture is slightly thickened and a bit syrupy, another 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl the pan around until it melts. Add any juices that have accumulated around the cooked chicken, along with the 1/4 cup parsley. Stir, taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

For a special occasion or a simply delicious weeknight dinner. I cannot emphasize enough that freshly grated cheese melts better and makes for a smoother sauce. The shelf stuff is to cover up bad pizza.

LEMONY SCALOPPINE OF PORK



Lemony Scaloppine of Pork image

I like this in winter with rice, or with mashed potatoes mixed, maybe, with mashed parsnip or another root vegetable. In summer, it's good with almost anything from the garden.

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 thin slices pork tenderloin
Salt and freshly ground pepper
All-purpose flour for dredging
1 teaspoon light olive oil
2 teaspoons butter
4 very thin slices lemon, plus 1/2 lemon for squeezing
1 fat shallot, sliced paper-thin
2-3 tablespoons chicken broth or water
1 1/2 teaspoons capers, rinsed
A scattering of chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place your very sharp chef's knife flat on top of the pork tenderloin about 2 1/2 inches from the thicker end. Tilting the knife slightly on the diagonal, slice off one quite thin scallop, moving from where you inserted the knife toward and off the end. Repeat two more times to make three slices. Pound the scallops gently to an even thickness, salt and pepper them lightly, and dredge them in flour. Heat the oil in a skillet just large enough for the three scaloppine, then add the butter, and when it is sizzling, lay in the meat along with the slices of lemon and shallot. Cook the scallops over medium-high heat for less than a minute on each side, then remove to a warm plate. Squeeze most of the half-lemon into the pan, add the chicken broth (or water), and boil down until lightly thickened. Toss in the capers, and return the meat to the pan just to heat through. Taste to see if it needs a little more lemon and/or salt. Spoon everything onto your warm plate, and scatter a little parsley on top.

CHICKEN SCALOPPINE WITH LEMON GLAZE (LOW FAT AND DELICIOUS!)



Chicken Scaloppine With Lemon Glaze (Low Fat and Delicious!) image

This is a wonderful lower-fat restaurant-quality dish that is easy to make, I also like to add in a few tablespoons of capers and cook with the lemon glaze if you are a lover of capers then add them in as it really adds to the flavour of this dish --- this lemon sauce is not a heavy creamy sauce which is what makes this dish lower in fat, it is more like a glaze that soaks into the chicken, and I would strongly suggest to double or even triple the glaze I most always do, and please be certain to use only dry breadcrumbs as fresh will not stick to the chicken as well --- this is *very* good!

LEMONY PORK PICCATA



Lemony Pork Piccata image

A wonderful tender pork dish with a delicate piccata sauce. Very simple and really delicious.

Provided by Jackie Cree

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pork chops
½ cup all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons sliced shallots
⅓ cup dry white wine
¼ cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon capers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Pound pork chops between 2 sheets waxed paper or plastic wrap until very thin, about 1/8 inch.
  • Mix flour, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl. Dredge both sides of each pork chop through flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until butter starts to sizzle. Add shallots and pork chops in 1 layer, working in batches if needed. Cook pork chops until golden brown and almost cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a baking dish and lightly tent with aluminum foil, reserving the shallots and browned bits of food in the skillet.
  • Bake pork chops in the preheated oven until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Pour wine and chicken stock into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced by half, 2 to 5 minutes. Stir lemon juice into sauce.
  • Drizzle sauce over pork chops and top with parsley, lemon zest, and capers.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-sliced pork or chicken cutlets. You can also pound your own cutlets by placing them between two pieces of plastic wrap and using a meat mallet or rolling pin to flatten them to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
  • If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or even water. However, the white wine adds a nice flavor to the dish, so it's worth using if you have it.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pork or chicken. It should be cooked through, but still tender and juicy. Overcooked meat will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the scaloppine immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
