Chicken Scaloppine – better than any restaurant! Chicken, mushrooms, lemon, heavy cream, capers, olive oil, butter, pasta and parmesan cheese. Ready in about 10 minutes! I wanted to lick the plate! SO good! #chicken #pasta
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!

This is definitely on my list of PW recipes to try! Chicken marsala-ish heaven!
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.

I love chicken scallopine but haven't made it in a while. It's always so good.
Thks for the submission to FFPW … looks so comforting and perfect for chilly winter evenings here on the east coast!
I love me some chicken scallopine! Your pictures are fantastic, it looks so elegant!
i adore anything with mushrooms! can't wait to try this!
That's two of you dishes in two days I've added to the try list. It looks and sounds great.
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!
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.
