Chicken Scaloppine




Source of Recipe


adapted from Romano's Macaroni Grill Scaloppine di Pollo


Recipe Introduction


By deleting any pasta, this makes a perfectly decadent low-carb/high-fat entree.

Sauce:
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 pound (4 sticks) dairy butter
salt & pepper to taste

Combine lemon juice & white wine; over medium heat, reduce the mixture by about a third, until you have 1/2 cup left.
Add the heavy cream & cook for several minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly
Cut the butter sticks into thirds and start adding one chunk at a time to the cream mixture. Over medium-low heat, stir constantly until each chunk is fully absorbed before adding another chunk.
check for seasoning, and if you do not want specks in your sauce, use white pepper

Scaloppine:
chicken tenders, 8 or 10 or 12, whatever! (pound 'em flat if you like, but it isn't necessary and if you'd rather use dark meat, go for it)
low carb breading (equal parts grated parmesan, almond meal, vital wheat gluten mixed well)
butter or ghee for frying
1/2 lb. pancetta, diced & cooked crisp (ordinary thick-sliced bacon works here too)
1 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced thin
1 lb. artichoke hearts, sliced
1½ tbsp. capers, rinsed and drained

Bread the chicken & fry it to a golden brown in butter or ghee (ghee is better since it won't burn). Set aside but keep warm

Fry the bacon/pancetta & set aside

Add the mushrooms, artichokes & capers to the bacon grease & cook until mushrooms wilt

Add the bacon to the mix & toss

Then add the chicken tenders and some of the sauce - just keep adding sauce until you get the combination you like. We use the entire recipe of sauce, but it is very rich, so go by your own preferences.

You can adjust this recipe to increase volume - just increase amounts of mushrooms & artichokes. If you like capers, you can increase those too, but be careful - a few capers goes a long way.
