Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken Scaloppini
This Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken Scaloppini is a cozy Italian classic, perfect for a weekday indulgence. Tender chicken breasts are delicately sautéed in garlic, butter, and a splash of lemon, bringing warmth and elegance to your dinner table.
Step 1: Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thin scaloppini. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2: In a large pan, melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Step 4: Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same pan, add 2 more tbsp of butter, juice of one lemon, and a pinch of salt.
Step 5: Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, then return the chicken to the pan, turning to coat in sauce.
Step 6: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve with creamy mashed potatoes or a simple arugula salad.
A crisp Pinot Grigio or a sparkling lemonade.
