Chicken Scallopini

Spezia Mashed Potatoes

Fresh Asparagus

Method

Chicken Scallopini

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Breading Process

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.

Bruschetta Topping

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix roasted red peppers, diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

  2. 5

    Top the Chicken

    Spoon the bruschetta mixture generously over the cooked chicken breasts.

Spezia Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Boil Potatoes

    In a large pot, add diced potatoes and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Mash Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Fresh Asparagus

  1. 8

    Prepare Asparagus

    Trim the ends of the asparagus and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  2. 9

    Cook Asparagus

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the asparagus. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp.
