Lemon Chicken(Scaloppine al Limone)

Written By Alice Taylor

Serves: 2
Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 large chicken breast, sliced lengthwise into thin strips

  • Plain flour, for coating

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • Salt, to taste

  • Juice of half a lemon

  • approx. ½ cup water or white wine

  • Optional: lemon slices and fresh herbs

Method

  1. Slice the chicken breast lengthwise to make thin strips. Coat each piece in flour, shaking off any excess.

  2. In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken and season with salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes until cooked on that side but still pale.

  3. Flip the chicken over and cook the same way on the other side.

  4. Add the lemon juice and around ½ cup of water or wine (start with ⅓ cup and add more if needed). Add lemon slices and fresh herbs if using.

  5. Cook for 2 minutes per side, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened and become creamy.

  6. Serve immediately, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
