Chicken Scaloppini EASY

Serves 2 (can be doubled easily)

This makes a very authentic tasting meal that is satisfying and still diet food! Because of the breading on this dish you’ll skip your bread portion for this meal.

12 oz of thin-sliced chicken breast pieces
2 lemons
1/3 cup of bread crumbs. You can grind up your favorite Plan Z approved cracker or use dried bread crumbs from the container.
Sea salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil spray
4 tsp of capers (rinse them before putting in the pan)
3/4 cup of organic chicken broth

Set up an assembly line. Take one lemon and juice it. Pour the juice on a rimmed plate. On a second plate spread the bread crumbs.

Take each piece of chicken and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Then pick it up and slide one side through the lemon juice. Then lightly dip in the bread crumbs. If you do this VERY lightly you’ll have enough to bread both sides. If you have leftover crumbs just toss them.

Heat the pan and spray lightly with olive oil spray. Place the chicken in. Do this same process for each piece of chicken. When they are all in the pan, cook on medium high for 3 minutes per side or until no pink remains in the chicken.

When chicken is done move it to another dish and cover it to keep it warm.

IN THE SAME PAN, (don’t wash it) add the chicken broth and the capers. Just bring it to a boil. You can now cut the other lemon and squeeze some more lemon in the sauce. You can also cut half of the lemon into slices or wedges to garnish. The amount of lemon you use in the sauce is really up to you. Drizzle sauce over or around the chicken and serve.
