- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top.
- Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken and sauce.

Kitchen Equipment Needed
To make Chicken Scallopini, you’ll need the following kitchen equipment:
- Meat mallet or rolling pin for pounding the chicken breasts
- Large skillet
Leftover Storage
If you have any leftover Chicken Scallopini, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the chicken and sauce in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, adding a splash of chicken broth or white wine if needed to prevent the sauce from drying out.
Serving Suggestions
Chicken Scallopini is delicious served with pasta, rice, or crusty bread for soaking up the flavorful sauce. You can also pair it with a simple side salad dressed with vinaigrette or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. For added freshness, garnish the dish with lemon slices and chopped parsley before serving.
