So all of my close friends know that since we got married and I moved with my husband, I've been trying to cook for him! It's been mostly a success so far. Or so he makes me think. My long time sister of 17 years, Denita, asked me what I've been cooking because she needs some new recipe's!
I love this girl, so I told her about my husband's favorite thing I cook- Chicken Scaloppine! I actually got this recipe from a recipe book we got as a wedding gift. I registered for it- Better Homes & Gardens: Anyone Can Cook.
LOL.
I don't have any pictures of it, I haven't cooked it in a few weeks, but it's super easy and yum!
What you need:
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 pounds total)
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp. of milk
- 1 cup seasoned fine dry bread crumbs
- 3/4 cup finely shredded Romano or Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 4 lemon wedges (optional- I don't use them)
- Place each chicken breast half between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound chicken lightly to about 1/4 inch thick. Remove plastic wrap. Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- In a shallow dish combine eggs and milk. In a second shallow dish combine bread crumbs and cheese. Lightly dredge chicken pieces on both sides through flour; shake off excess. Dip both sides in egg mixture. Dredge in crumb mixture to coat. If necessary, press crumbs onto chicken with your hands to make crumbs stick.
- In a 12-inch skillet melt butter over medium-high heat; add oil. Cook half the chicken breasts in melted butter and oil, uncovered, for 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink, turning once. Remove from skillet; keep warm. Add more oil if needed. Cook remaining chicken. Serve immediately with lemon wedges. Makes 4 servings.
Ta-daaaa!! Hope you enjoy Dee ;)
I usually make some really good roasted potatoes for the side. Just cut some New Potatoes into wedges, throw in a pan, drizzle olive oil all over and any seasonings you want. Bake about 30 mins at 375!
