Lynne’s Lemon Chicken Scaloppini




Source of Recipe


internet


List of Ingredients




2 lbs. chicken breasts, pounded to 1/4" thick
1/2 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp. garlic salt & Pepper to taste OR use 2 tsp. McCormick’s Montreal Steak Seasoning in place of garlic salt & pepper
1/2 c butter
1 tsp. instant bouillon OR 1 tsp. Better Than Bouillon dissolved in 1/2 cup hot water
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
8 ounces fresh mushrooms plus 2 Tablespoons butter to sauté them
6 lemon slices


Recipe



Mix together flour, garlic salt, and pepper (or flour and Montreal seasoning). Dredge chicken in flour mixture. Melt butter in large skillet; brown chicken over medium heat for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove chicken and place chicken in ungreased 13 x 9 inch baking dish. In the same skillet used to brown the chicken, add 2 Tbsp. Butter and the mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms and place them on top of the chicken in the baking dish. Dissolve bouillon in water. Add lemon juice; pour over chicken Cover with foil and refrigerate if making ahead.

Heat oven to 350ºF. Bake covered with foil for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and top each chicken breast with a slice of lemon. Reserve liquid in baking dish to serve over rice or pasta. We like it put the reserved juices in a gravy boat and drizzle over buttered fettuccini and Parmesan cheese.

Posted by: avidcookGA: This has been a once a week recipe for 30 years at our house. Our kids (now grown)hated mushrooms, but loved the taste they imparted to this dish. They picked them off of the chicken. We have found that leaving the mushrooms out altogether really leaves this recipe a bit flat so we always include them. The original recipe also called for some white wine but my kids really hated this so I haven't made it with wine in over 25 years. This is my go to recipe for company because it looks and tastes great and can be assembled ahead and just popped into the oven 30 minutes before serving, giving more time to spend with guests. I usually serve this with fettucini, spinach salad, asparagus, cranberry sauce. Elegant and easy meal.
