Chicken Scallopini Recipe: Easy Gourmet Dinner

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup butter, softened
• 1 clove garlic, pressed
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 4 ounces sliced mushrooms
• 0.25 cup white wine
• 2 tablespoons chicken-flavored demi-glace, or to taste
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 20 capers, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
• 2 lemon slices

Instructions

1. Put flour in a shallow dish. Combine butter and garlic in a small bowl until thoroughly mixed.
2. Using a sharp knife, slice each chicken breast horizontally through the thickest part, stopping about 1/2 inch from the thinner edge. Be careful not to cut completely through. Open the breast like a book and lay it on a work surface. Gently pound each breast to an even thickness, then coat both sides with flour.
3. Melt the garlic butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it ceases to foam. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a platter and cover to keep warm.
4. Sauté the mushrooms in the remaining skillet butter until they start to brown, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Incorporate the wine, demi-glace, lemon juice, and capers. Lower the heat to a simmer, season with salt and pepper, and mix in the parsley.
5. Place the chicken on plates and spoon the sauce over it. Garnish with lemon slices.
