Sautéed Chicken Breast
With Mushroom Caper Cream
Serves 4

4ea. 6-8oz chicken breasts, sliced in half (scaloppini)
1 pint heavy cream
4 oz capers
12 oz. Fresh button mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup white wine (or water)
6 oz flour
1 tomato, small diced
Fresh herbs optional
1 oz vegetable oil


1. Set a sauté pan on high heat and add the oil
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour lightly. We're not looking for fried chicken just a crust so dust off all excess flour.
3. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until browned on the first side. If the pan is too hot and it looks like the chicken is burning, it probably is so turn down the heat a little.
4. Flip the breasts and add the mushrooms and capers and cook till the mushrooms are cooked and the chicken is browned on both sides, but not quite done in the middle.
5. Remove the chicken to a plate and add white wine and cream to the pan
6. Simmer about 3-4 minutes and add the chicken back in and if you are using herbs add them in as well.
7. Check the seasoning and adjust as necessary
Garnish with chopped Tomato and a Big Smile
