Instructions

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.

To begin, whisk together egg, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper until frothy and thick. And spread flour on a separate plate. Coat the chicken with the flour and shake off the excess.

Next, heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

Dip the floured chicken into the egg batter and place in the hot pan. Cook in batches, being careful not to crowd the pan.

Cook until nicely browned on each side. Repeat, adding more oil and butter as needed, until all the chicken slices are cooked. Remove to a platter and keep warm.

Now you’re ready to prepare your delicious sauce.

Add some more butter to the same skillet and sauté some garlic.

Stir flour in cold water; then add to skillet. Add lemon juice, as well. Continuously stir over medium-high heat to thicken gravy.

Finally, return chicken to the pan and cook for another minute to blend. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately with your favorite gluten free pasta.

Pro tips and recipe notes

• Scallopine chicken is extremely thin. Once you add the batter, the pieces are thick enough. You can use thin-sliced chicken if you’d like.
• Dissolve the flour in water before adding it to your skillet so that your sauce doesn’t get clumpy.
• Serve with your favorite vegetables and gluten-free pasta or rice.
