4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless (about 1 1/4-pounds)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon red pepper sauce, if desired
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Heat to boiling; stir in lime juice and cilantro. Serve sauce over chicken.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the chicken by cutting into it. The meat should be white and opaque with no pink in the center.
  • To make the sauce, use a heavy-bottomed skillet so it doesn't scorch. And be sure to whisk the sauce constantly to prevent it from curdling.
  • If you don't have any white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
  • Serve the chicken scaloppine immediately with your favorite sides, such as pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Southwestern chicken scaloppine is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a creamy sauce that is packed with southwestern flavors, such as chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Serve it over your favorite sides, such as pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables, for a complete meal.
