Steps:
- Dip veal into the beaten egg, then press into the bread crumbs. Gently shake off excess, and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add breaded scaloppini, and cook until golden brown on both sides, and no longer pink on the inside, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate, and keep warm.
- Pour in lemon juice and white wine. Increase heat to high, and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Dissolve the cornstarch in about 2 tablespoons of chicken broth, and set aside. Pour the remaining chicken broth into the skillet, season with garlic pepper and lemon pepper, and bring to a boil. Once the sauce is boiling, stir in the dissolved cornstarch, and cook until thickened and clear, about 1 minute. Remove the sauce from the heat, then whisk in heavy cream. Place the veal on a serving platter, and pour sauce overtop to serve.

VEAL SCALLOPINI WITH LEMON AND CAPERS
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Pat the veal dry with paper towels and sprinkle it lightly with the salt.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan (preferably large enough to hold all the veal in a single layer) over medium-high heat.
- Put as much of the veal as fits in a single layer in the pan (it is important you don't crowd the pan) and cook until it has started to brown and releases from the surface of the pan-about 2 minutes.
- Turn the cutlets and cook them until they're cooked through and browned on the second side-about 2 more minutes. Transfer the veal to a plate. Repeat with any remaining veal, as necessary.
- Return the frying pan to the heat. Add the capers to the pan and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds.
- Add the white wine and use a spatula to help scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
- Whisk together and cook until the wine is reduced by at least half, about 2 minutes.
- Add the lemon juice and stir to combine.
- Swirl in the pieces of butter, whisking if you like, to make a sauce. Taste and add salt if needed.
- Return all of the veal to the pan to coat it in the sauce.
- Divide the arugula among 4 plates. Drizzle a bit of the sauce over each serving of arugula before placing the veal on top of the salad. Drizzle any remaining sauce evenly over the veal.
- Serve immediately.

VEAL WITH LEMON AND CAPERS
Steps:
- Pour the flour mixture on a plate, and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the scaloppini in the flour and shake off the excess, set aside. Melt butter and olive oil together in a skillet over medium fire. Add scaloppini to skillet and brown on both sides. Set aside until all the veal has been cooked. After the veal has been removed from the pan, add the chicken stock to the pan over high heat and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen the brown bits. Cook until the liquid has thickened. Straining the liquid may be necessary to remove the larger pieces of the scrapings. Add 1 tablespoon of butter, capers, lemon juice and parsley to sauce. Stir over a high heat about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over the veal. Garnish with sliced lemons and serve.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality veal scallops for the best flavor and texture. Look for scallops that are pale pink in color and have a fine grain.
- Make sure to pound the veal scallops thinly before cooking. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat to sear the veal scallops. This will help create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when searing the veal scallops. Cook them in batches if necessary to avoid steaming them.
- Be careful not to overcook the veal scallops. They should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
- Finish the veal scallops with a simple lemon-caper sauce. This will brighten up the flavor of the veal and add a touch of acidity.
