Chicken Scallopini with Lemon and Caper Sauce A poultry variation on a traditional Italian veal preparation. 6 boned and skinned chicken breast halves 2 tablespoons olive oil 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter Salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 to 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 to 2 teaspoons drained capers 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley Thin lemon slices for garnish Parsley leaflets, preferably flat-leaf Italian type, for garnish Discard the tendons and any connecting tissue or fat from the chicken breasts; separate the little fillet and use it for another purpose or leave it attached and tuck it under the larger muscle. Leave small breasts whole; slice thicker ones in half horizontally. Place breast pieces between 2 sheets of waxed paper and pound with a mallet or other flat instrument to a uniform thickness of about 1/8 inch. Set aside. Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken scallops and sauté, turning once, until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes total cooking time. Remove chicken to a warm platter, season to taste with salt and pepper, and reserve. Add the lemon juice and capers to the pan and heat, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen browned bits. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and stir until melted. Stir in the minced parsley and pour the sauce over the scallops. Garnish with lemon slices and parsley leaflets. Serves 4 to 6. Finger size strips work ok. Also chunks.
