Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Veal

    Pound the veal scaloppini to about 1/4 inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Dredge the veal in the flour, shaking off the excess.

  2. 2

    Cook the Veal

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the veal and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the veal from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the lemon juice, chicken broth, and capers. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Return the veal to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
