This week’s Foodie Fans of the Pioneer Woman challenge was to pick a recipe from the “Cowgirl Food” section of the website.  I chose chicken scallopine and, WOW, it was good!  This is my favorite recipe from the challenge so far.  This is basically a kicked-up chicken piccata with mushrooms and cream.  I only made two chicken breasts but kept the sauce the same (we love the sauce).  I also used chicken broth instead of wine.  I don’t like to waste my wine on cooking – the true sign of a wino!  I will add this to our rotation – it was that good!

  1. Yum Steph! That looks amazing! You know I could have awore that it had bacon on it but after checking and double checking the recipe it didn't. It was actually the perfectly browned chicken.

  2. Thks for the submission to FFPW … looks so comforting and perfect for chilly winter evenings here on the east coast!

  3. Fortunately, I love cooking with wine! What a smart idea to save the sauce. Hmmmm, since I cook for two, these days…maybe I should freeze some sauce for a repeat dish. Great recipe! Thanks for submitting this to the FFPW roundup!

  4. I'm the same way, I'm horrified if a recipe calls for 2 cups of wine. But I do it anyway. This looks wonderful and love those capers on top. Will have to try this one.
