Chicken Scaloppine ala Macaroni Grill




Source of Recipe


Macaroni Grill via Rocky Mountain News


Recipe Introduction


Deleting the pasta included in most scaloppine recipes, makes this an astonishingly decadent low-carb/high-fat meal. And yes, it takes a bit of work to put this together, but trust me, dear friends, it's absolutely positively worth the trouble!

List of Ingredients




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

Scaloppine:
lots of chicken tenders, 8 or 10 or 12, whatever! (pound 'em flat if you like, but I just use 'em natural)
low carb breading (equal parts almond meal, gluten & grated parmesan)
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

Recipe



Sauce:
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 - I use white pepper so I don't have specks in my sauce.

Scaloppine:
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 sauce.

Just keep adding sauce until you get the combination you like. We use all of it, because we're so addicted to this we could drink the sauce from a mug!

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.
