CHICKEN SCALOPPINE WITH LEMON
In order to make this chicken scaloppine, you'll first make a paillard, which just means you'll flatten the thighs by pounding them with a meat pounder, a wine bottle or the bottom of a heavy skillet. That broadens the surface area of the meat, which in turn browns and becomes crisp during cooking. It's delightful with this simple and bright lemon and white wine sauce.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Slice each chicken thigh open like a book and lay it flat between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat pounder, a wine bottle or the bottom of a heavy skillet, pound each piece of chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Put two large skillets over medium-high heat for a minute or 2. Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and put the flour and bread crumbs on two plates or in two shallow bowls. Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl. Sprinkle all with salt and pepper.
- Add 1 tablespoon each oil and butter to each skillet and swirl it around. When it is hot - a pinch of flour will sizzle - dredge a piece of the chicken in the flour, then dip it in the eggs and finally dredge it in the bread crumbs. Add the chicken piece to one of the pans, then repeat with another piece in the second pan. (You may be able to fit more than one paillard in each pan at a time.)
- Cook the chicken, rotating occasionally and regulating the heat if necessary so it sizzles constantly but doesn't burn. When the pieces are brown, after about 2 minutes, turn them over.
- Cook on the second side until the chicken is firm to the touch, 1 to 2 minutes. (Cut into one with a thin-bladed knife; the center should be white or slightly pink.) Transfer the chicken to a platter and put it in the oven. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more oil and butter to each skillet as necessary.
- When all the chicken is cooked, turn off the heat under one of the skillets. Add a tablespoon or 2 more oil or butter to the other pan if it looks dry and sprinkle the fat with 2 teaspoons of the remaining flour. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the wine and stir and scrape the pan until the wine has reduced by about half, about 1 minute. Add the stock and lemon juice and cook, stirring, until the mixture is slightly thickened and a bit syrupy, another 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl the pan around until it melts. Add any juices that have accumulated around the cooked chicken, along with the 1/4 cup parsley. Stir, taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

SCALOPPINE WITH ANY MEAT
You can use any kind of meat to make these dead-simple scaloppine - veal, turkey, chicken, pork, even beef if you can find pieces thin enough. Cook them quickly in butter over high heat, then turn those buttery pan drippings into your sauce, seasoning it with garlic and a squeeze of lemon or lime. This needs no further embellishment. But a handful of capers, sliced olives, chopped fresh herbs or toasted sliced almonds warmed in the butter at the last minute wouldn't do any harm, either.

CHICKEN SCALOPPINI WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE
Steps:
- Put the flour in a large shallow dish and season with the salt and pepper. Pat the chicken scaloppini dry with paper towels, then put them in the flour, coating the chicken on both sides. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a 14-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken and cook, in batches if needed, until deeply golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a wire rack-lined sheet tray.
- Reduce the heat under the same cast-iron skillet and add the onion, garlic and rosemary. Stir occasionally and cook until the onions are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the butter and capers and scrape the skillet as the butter melts to deglaze. Add the chicken stock and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Add the chicken pieces back to warm through and allow the sauce to reduce, another 2 to 3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken to coat.
- Garnish with the lemon supremes and serve.
VEAL SCALOPPINE IN LEMON SAUCE
Steps:
- Lay the veal out on a cutting board, and pound the slices with a meat mallet to an even 1/4-inch thickness (or have your butcher do this for you). Season the veal with the salt.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Spread the flour on a plate, and lightly dredge a batch of veal, tapping off the excess flour. Lay some of the veal in the skillet so the pieces are not touching. Let the veal caramelize on the edges, just a minute or two, then turn and caramelize the other side. Remove to a plate, and repeat with the remaining veal.
- When all of the veal is out of the skillet, increase the heat to high and add the garlic and lemon slices. Turn the lemon slices to caramelize them all over, then toss in the olives and capers. Let the olives and capers sizzle for a minute, then pour the wine and lemon juice into the skillet. Bring the sauce to a rolling boil, then add 1 cup hot water. Boil the sauce until reduced by half, about 4 to 5 minutes; whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in pieces. Reduce heat so the sauce is just simmering, and slip the veal back in the pan. Simmer just to heat the veal through, a minute or two, taking care not to overcook.
- Remove the veal slices to a warm platter. Stir the parsley into the sauce, and pour over the veal.
BEST VEAL SCALLOPINI
