TUSCAN CHICKEN IN LEMON-WINE SAUCE (SCALOPPINE AL LIMONE)
My husband and I learned to make this lemony chicken entree on a cooking vacation in Italy. The recipe is very quick and easy, yet bursting with flavor and tenderness. The sauce is made by whisking a beaten egg into the reduced liquids. We love it served over a side of pasta to soak up all the lemon-wine sauce.

Steps:
- Flatten each chicken breast by pounding gently with a flat meat mallet (Hint - pound chicken inside a Ziploc bag - no mess!). Sprinkle flattened breasts with salt and pepper. Then dredge chicken in flour; shake off excess.
- Heat butter and oil over HIGH heat; just before butter starts to brown, add the chicken pieces and saute quickly to brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and brown other side (3 more minutes). It doesn't need to be totally cooked through because it will cook more in the sauce later.
- Remove chicken to platter but leave all browned bits in the skillet.
- Add wine to browned bits in skillet and boil to reduce wine by almost half (about 3 minutes). Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg and lemon juice. Stir egg/lemon mixture into simmering wine and broth, whisking constantly until sauce is smooth and a little thickened (about 2 minutes). It will thicken more when you put in the chicken breasts which have a flour coating.
- Add chicken and any juices back into the sauce; allow to simmer about 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through, turning chicken once. Add chopped parsley.
- Place chicken on platter and pour sauce over top; garnish with lemon slices and additional parsley sprigs.
- HINT: Please use FRESH lemons and parsley; it has a big impact on the flavor of the dish, and besides, no aspiring Italian chef would consider using otherwise!

Steps:
- Prep Chicken: If the breasts are too thick, you'll need to slice them in half lengthwise. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in flour and shake off any excess.
- Cook Chicken: In a large skillet melt 2 tbsp of butter with the olive oil, over medium high heat. Add chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned. When the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet.
- Add Ingredients: Remove skillet from heat. Add lemon juice, chicken stock or wine, capers and scrape up the brown bits from the pan for extra flavor. Return the skillet to heat and bring to a boil. Taste the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Add the chicken back to skillet and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add remaining butter to the sauce in the skillet and whisk for about a minute. Sauce will thicken slightly.
- Finish and Serve: Pour the sauce over the chicken garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.

BREADED CHICKEN LIMONE
At a highly-rated Italian restaurant chain I ordered the Veal Limone with Tuscan Beans and Escarole. It was amazing, but a bit pricey. So I made my own recipe with easier-to-find and affordable ingredients: chicken breasts, navy beans, and Brussels sprouts.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Season flour, eggs, and bread crumbs with salt and pepper. Mix cayenne pepper into the flour only. Dip each breast into flour, then into the beaten eggs, and then into the bread crumbs, coating evenly. Place onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes on each side or until brown and crispy.
- While chicken bakes, heat oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and Brussels sprouts and stir until garlic releases its fragrance and sprouts are heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the flour. Then add the water, lemon juice, drained beans, and sugar. Stir over medium heat until sauce thickens, about 8 minutes. Add additional water if sauce is too thick. Remove from the heat and stir in remaining butter, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
- Place each piece of chicken onto a serving plate. Spoon the sauce over it and garnish with chopped parsley and remaining Parmesan cheese.

RAO'S FAMOUS LEMON CHICKEN (POLLO AL LIMONE)
Steps:
- To attain maximum heat, preheat broiler for at least 15 minutes before using.
- Broil chicken halves, turning once, for about 30 minutes or until skin is golden-brown and juices run clear when bird is pierced with a fork.
- Remove chicken from broiler, leaving broiler on. Using a very sharp knife, cut each half into about 6 pieces (leg, thigh, wing, 3 small breast pieces).
- Place chicken on a baking sheet with sides, of a size that can fit into the broiler. Pour Lemon Sauce over the chicken and toss to coat well. If necessary, divide sauce in half and do this in two batches.
- Return to broiler and broil for 3 minutes. Turn each piece and broil for an additional minute.
- Remove from broiler and portion each chicken into each of 6 warm serving plates.
- Pour sauce into a heavy saucepan. Stir in parsley and place over high heat for 1 minute. Pour an equal amount of sauce over each chicken and serve with lots of crusty bread to absorb the sauce.
- Whisk together juice, oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Whisk or shake vigorously before using.

Steps:
- Mix together salt and flour in a small dish or plastic bag, then coat chicken and shake off excess. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Shake excess flour from chicken, then brown in hot oil until both sides are golden-brown, and the inside has turned white and firm, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken, and set aside in a warm place. Pour white wine into the skillet, and allow to boil as you dissolve the cooked bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the lemon juice, and allow to come to a boil, cook for a few minutes until reduced by half.
- Sprinkle the cubed butter into the boiling sauce. Swirl and shake the pan vigorously to dissolve the butter, thus thickening the sauce. The butter must never come to rest, or the sauce will separate and become oily. Once the butter has completely incorporated, remove from heat and stir in capers.
- To serve, pour lemon-caper sauce over the chicken, and serve with a wedge of lemon.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place chicken thighs In a large bowl. Slice the lemons in half and squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the thighs and add the lemon rinds to the bowl along with the garlic, salt, pepper, and Tuscany seasoning. Mix well, then put everything in a large baking dish spreading everything out evenly. Sprinkle smoked paprika over the chicken. We love the taste of the smoked paprika so we sprinkle quite a bit on the chicken. It's up to you.
- Put the dish in the heated oven and bake the chicken for 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F. If it hasn't reached that point, put it back into the oven for an additional 5 minutes. When it reaches the temperature of 165 degrees F take it out of the oven, cover it with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Serve the chicken thighs with the juices -- discard the lemons.

- Heat the oven to its lowest setting (ideally about 70°C if your oven goes that low), and put in a serving platter to warm. First, make the mash: put the potatoes in a pan of cold, salted water and bring to the boil. Cook for 20 minutes or until tender, then drain and steam dry in a colander. Push the potato through a ricer (if you have one) or mash well by hand, then stir in the boiled milk and the butter. Season well. Cover and keep warm in a serving dish in the oven while you make the piccatina.
- For the piccatina, slice the chicken breasts into 2-4mm thick escalopes (see tip). Heat your widest frying pan over a high heat. Season each piece of chicken with a little salt on both sides, then lightly dust both sides with flour.
- When the pan is hot, add the 2 tbsp olive oil and the breast slices in a single layer (you may need to fry them in a few batches). As they start to cook, add 1 tbsp of the 70g butter – this will help brown the chicken faster. Your goal is to get a good amount of golden brown colouring on both sides of each escalope – don’t turn them until the first side is gorgeously browned.
- Transfer the cooked escalopes to the platter in the warm oven and fry the next batch, adding a bit more butter as and when you need to, but keeping back at least 30g for the sauce.

- To make this dish easy to prepare, cook the spaghetti or linguine according to box directions. With a slotted spoon or spider strainer, remove cooked pasta to drain in a colander (keep the pasta cooking water) and cool under cold running water. Then put the pot back on the stove and have hot water ready to reheat the pasta at the end of the dish preparation.
- Place each breast on your cutting board and look at the way the grain of the meat runs, then using a long sharp knife, slice thin quarter inch slices against the grain. As you get towards the middle, the slices will be long; those can be cut in half so all of the pieces are somewhat uniform in size.
