Scallopini are cuts of meat that are pounded thin and then cooked to perfection in about 6 minutes. For a beautifully browned crust, make sure the pan and oil are hot—the chicken should hiss as it hits the pan. Ingredients:
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
1 large egg white |
2 teaspoons water |
1/2 cup italian-seasoned breadcrumbs |
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided |
1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet.
2. Combine egg white and water in a shallow dish, stirring with a whisk. Place breadcrumbs in another shallow dish. Dip each chicken breast half in egg mixture; dredge in breadcrumbs.
3. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of chicken to pan. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate; cover and keep warm. Repeat procedure with remaining oil and chicken.
4. Add broth and lemon juice to pan, stirring to loosen browned bits. Cook, uncovered, over high heat 2 to 3 minutes or until reduced to 1/3 cup. Drizzle sauce over chicken.
5. Serve with: Pan-Roasted Asparagus and Tomatoes
