Chicken Scallopini

Chicken Scallopini, a 15-minute dinner idea, is a weekly menu staple in my home (and will soon be in yours, too!). The easy one-skillet recipe features pan-fried chicken in a punchy lemon-butter sauce.

Ingredients :
  • 8 chicken breast cutlets
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup capers drained
  • 2 tablespoons butter cold
  • minced fresh parsley and lemon wedges, for serving
Directions :
  1. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Dredge each cutlet in flour and shake lightly to remove excess.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat butter until shimmering. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil.
  3. Add wine and lemon juice to skillet, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Remove from heat and whisk in butter until incorporated. Stir in capers.
  4. Add chicken and any accumulated juices back to pan. Swirl to coat the chicken with sauce. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
