Preparation

How to prepare Chicken scallops with lemon

To prepare chicken scalloppine with lemon, get thin slices of chicken breast (about 0.2 inches thick); if they are too thick, you can flatten them with a meat mallet after placing them between two sheets of parchment paper. Pass the chicken slices in flour 1 to coat them well on both sides 2. Squeeze the lemon juice and set it aside. In a large pan, melt the butter over low heat 3.

Add the chicken slices 4 and brown them for 2 minutes on each side. Season with salt 5 and pepper 6.

Drizzle with the lemon juice 7. Allow it to be absorbed well by occasionally turning the scalloppine 8. It will take about 12 minutes of cooking over low heat, making sure the juice doesn't dry out excessively. In this case, you can add half a cup of room temperature water. At the end of cooking, add fresh chopped parsley 9. Serve the chicken scalloppine with lemon hot, coated with their cooking sauce.
