Chicken Scaloppine With Lemon Glaze (Low Fat and Delicious!)
This is a wonderful lower-fat restaurant-quality dish that is easy to make, I also like to add in a few tablespoons of capers and cook with the lemon glaze if you are a lover of capers then add them in as it really adds to the flavour of this dish --- this lemon sauce is not a heavy creamy sauce which is what makes this dish lower in fat, it is more like a glaze that soaks into the chicken, and I would strongly suggest to double or even triple the glaze I most always do, and please be certain to use only dry breadcrumbs as fresh will not stick to the chicken as well --- this is *very* good!

Really, really tasty. I implemented some of the (minor) tweaks suggested, all of which I recommend: I used panko crumbs, doubled the sauce, thickened with some cornstarch & water, and added capers. Definitely easy to make but notwithstanding how easy it was, I'd say it's company worthy. I'm a big fan of this recipe. -
Lovely! I used panko instead of breadcrumbs and loved the crunch that it gave. Took your advice and doubled the sauce and added 2 Tbsp capers, the capers added a lot to this dish and I'm very glad I doubled the glaze. Thanks for another healthier alternative Kittencal, I didn't miss the butter in this at all as so many similar versions have.

This was amazing ! I tripled the sauce as suggested I also baked the chicken instead of frying it. I didn't have bread crumbs so I used ritz crackers it turned out so moist and yummy !! Thanks for the recipe !

FANTASTIC! Made this chicken last night for 7 of my family & friends & it was a huge hit! Everyone called today still raving & asking the recipe. At first tasting the lemon glaze I thought yikes its so tart it may be too much but it was perfect. I used all natural chicken breasts & they cut with a spoon they were so tender. The mustard adds taste texture & holds the bread crumbs (used Italian more added flavor). Also used capers which adds depth to the dish. Beware I made quite a bit extra chicken thinking I would have leftovers for the week...not so people were pigging out...so be sure to make more than you think you might need!

This was absolutely delicious. I used leftover chickpea chips instead of breadcrumbs because I am gluten-free and try to avoid wheat and corn-based products. Next time I will grind them up finer in my food processor now that I know I like the taste. I agree, I will double the sauce next time as well because there was hardly any left in the pan to pour over the chicken after I cooked it. That may be because I "halved" the recipe for two chicken breasts, however. Pretty easy to make. I especially like that it mostly uses ingredients I already have in the kitchen and pantry as opposed to having to shop for a bunch of things. Will definitely add this to the rotation of dishes i will cook again. Thank you!
