Recipe...Chicken Scaloppini




Place 4-6 oz chicken breast halves between two sheets of heavy duty plastic wrap and pound to 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet.

Combine 1 large egg white and 2 tsp water in a shallow dish and whisk.  Place 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs in another shallow dish.  Dip each chicken breast half in the egg mixture; dredge in breadcrumbs.

Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over med-high heat.  Add half of the chicken to pan.  Cook 3 min. on each side or until golden brown.  Transfer to plate; cover and keep warm.  Repeat with remaining oil and chicken.

Add 1/2 cup fat-free, low sodium chicken broth and 1 TBSP fresh lemon juice to the pan, stirring to loosen brown bits.  Cook, uncovered, over high heat 2 -3 min. or until reduced to 1/3 cup.  Drizzle sauce over chicken.
