Chicken Scallopini

Asparagus or Angel Hair Pasta

Method

Chicken Scallopini Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness for quick and even cooking. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Dredge the Chicken

    Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.

  4. 4

    Sear the Chicken

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.

  5. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add capers, artichokes, and cooked bacon. Stir to combine.

  6. 6

    Combine with Cream

    Pour in the heavy cream and lemon juice, stirring well. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it with the sauce.

  7. 7

    Finish the Dish

    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the chicken scallopini hot.

Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 8

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, boil the quartered Yukon gold potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.

  2. 9

    Mash the Potatoes

    Return the drained potatoes to the pot and add butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Asparagus Preparation

  1. 10

    Prepare Asparagus

    In a separate pot, bring salted water to boil. Blanch the trimmed asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

  1. 11

    Cook Pasta
