Preparation

How to prepare Savory Chicken Scaloppine

To prepare savory chicken scaloppine, first wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half 1. In a large pan, pour a drizzle of oil, 2 cloves of garlic, capers, and olives 2. Turn on the heat and place the cherry tomatoes one by one with the cut side in contact with the pan 3.

Cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes 4. In the meantime, check that the chicken slices are thin; if not, pound them with a meat tenderizer. Flour the chicken breast slices on all sides 5, shake off the excess, and place them on a plate 6.

When the cherry tomatoes are well browned 7, place the chicken breast slices in the pan 8. Brown for a couple of minutes, then turn the slices using tongs and brown them on the other side as well 9.

In the meantime, dissolve the tomato paste in a little water 10. Add it to the pan 11 and add the remaining water to clean the bowl well 12.

Mix well 13 and cook for another couple of minutes. At this point, add the fresh oregano leaves 14, just a pinch of salt, pepper, and serve your scaloppine hot 15.

Storage

We recommend consuming the scaloppine immediately; alternatively, you can store them in the fridge covered for 1 day.

Advice

Instead of fresh tomatoes, when they are out of season, you can use peeled cherry tomatoes.

A piece of chili pepper can be very pleasant in the seasoning. The tomato paste serves to bind and make the sauce creamier; instead, use tomato puree, preferably reduced a bit on the heat to avoid water release.

If you find very thin slices, there is no need to pound them, but if you can't make them thinner, extend the cooking time a bit, perhaps covering with a lid to help cook the chicken.
