Chicken Scallopini with Fresh Mushrooms

January 25, 2013

If you're having chicken tonight, check this out. A wonderful chicken scallopini with the addition of fresh mushrooms simmered in a yummy sauce


Winner winner, chicken dinner!!

What to do with chicken? Pound it thin, add mushrooms and garlic and voila….. a dinner to write home about! Hubby and I both love chicken especially since there is so many ways to cook it. I have always loved chicken scallopini however Hubby is not always to keen on the lemon flavors traditionally found here.  I found a great recipe on JBugs Kitchen Antics that does not use a ton of lemon or capers. With a bit of “Lorification,” I made a chicken scallopini dinner that was sure to please both of us.

I really like delicious, gourmet tasting recipes that are a flash to make on those days you get stuck working late. And who wants to hit the drive through when you can make something yummy at home? Not me.  I like the simplicity of this recipe. Even though it has more ingredients then I normally use on a weeknight, it’s still a snap to make and the leftovers make for a great workday lunch the next day.
This recipe is also loaded with a favorite: garlic!  You can’t go wrong with that in my kitchen. It also calls for fresh mushrooms and a bit of marsala wine.  The recipe is listed below.

Chicken Scallopini with Mushrooms

1/4 cup butter, divided
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 large cloves (or more!) garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1-1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breasts, pounded to a 1/4 “ thick
Sea salt and coarse ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried sage
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 cup Pinot Grigio or marsala
3/4 cup extra strength chicken stock (I used 1 Knorr’s Homestyle Chicken Stock pod) 1 cup of Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup Fat Free Sour Cream
Zest of 1 lemon
Chopped parsley as garnish Directions

Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally until mushrooms are browned.

Add garlic and onion and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Add remaining butter and olive oil to pan and heat until butter is melted. Meanwhile, season pounded chicken thigh pieces on both sides with salt and pepper and dredge in flour, shaking off excess. Cook until golden brown on both sides.

Add sage and nutmeg and return mushrooms to the pan.

Season with coarse ground black pepper. Add pinot or marsala wine, cherry tomatoes and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove lid from pan and stir in sour cream. Bring back to a boil, sprinkle with lemon zest.  Serve immediately. I served it with angel hair pasta and a side salad. Garnish with parsley.

Makes 4 delicious servings. Two for us tonight, and two for our lunch tomorrow.

    Lori – thanks so much for the shout-out. There’s no finer compliment than when a fellow blogger is inspired by something I’ve made and even better, that you made it your own by making changes. After all, recipes are just guidelines. Nonna would have been pleased!
