chicken scaloppine, low calorie, low sodium, recipe, Sunday dinner

This was my first-ever chicken scaloppine. This recipe is from the Sunset magazine “Secrets from Our Test Kitchen” supplement that came to me when I subscribed to Sunset  magazine.  Totally worth the price of subscription.

Orange-olive chicken scaloppine

Steve and I totally loved this!  It’s easy peasy to make and I love that the sodium is so low, yet it’s so flavorful.

PREP AND COOK TIME About 20 minutes

MAKES 4 servings

Basic chicken scaloppine (See directions below in post just previous to this one)

2 tsp. olive oil

1/3 cup pine nuts

1/4 cup fat-skimmed chicken broth (I use no salt added Swanson’s broth)

1/4 cup chopped shallots

1 tsp. grated orange peel

1/2 cup orange juice

1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives

1 Tbsp chopped parsley

Salt and pepper

  1. Keep basic chicken scaloppine warm in a 200-degree oven.
  2. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and the its to pan used to cook chicken (don’t wash) and stir over medium heat until golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and scoop out nuts with a slotted spoon, set aside.
  3. Set pan over medium-high heat; add remaining 1 tsp oil and the shallots, and stir until shallots are limp, about 2 minutes
  4. Add chicken broth, orange peel, orange juice, and olives; stir until mixture is boiling.
  5. Boil, stirring occasionally, until juices are slightly reduce, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
  6. Spon sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with nuts and parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste.

chicken scaloppine, low sodium, recipe, Sunday dinner

If you master this you can make chicken scaloppine recipes until the cows…er, chickens…come home.

STEP 1 Rinse 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves; pat dry. Sprinkle both sides lightly with salt and pepper (I actually skip this step since I’m on a ridiculously low-sodium diet). Place halves between sheets of plastic wrap, with a mallet or rolling pin, gently pound chicken to an even 1/4 in. thick. Peel off wrap.

STEP 2 Put about 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in a shallow container. Turn each piece of chicken in flour to coat lightly.

STEP 3 Set a 10- to 12-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat; when hot, ad 2 tsp olive oil. Lay 2 pieces of chicken in pan; cook, turning once, until no longer pink in the center (cut to test), 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a platter or plates and keep warm in a 200-degree oven. Repeat to cook remaining chicken in 2 more tsp. oil.
