Hubby's Favorite Chicken Scaloppine With Angel Hair Pasta
"My mom made this for my husband and he begs for it to this day! Not one of my personal favorites, but I'm not a big chicken fan. My kids love this dish as much as he does though, so I have to make it pretty frequently around here!"

I loved this chicken dish! The chicken I used came pacakged already thin sliced and ready to cook. I made this on a work night and dinner was on the table in less then 1/2 hour. The only thing I wasn't sure of was how much lemon juice to use so I only used a small amount, just under two tablespoons. This amount was just right. Everyone in my family enjoyed this meal. I will be making this again. -
We loved this recipe. I added a bit more seasoning than just salt and pepper. I added lemon pepper and a little cajan seasoning as well. At the end when you mix the butter and lemon juice, I also added a couple of cloves of minced garlic. Next time I am going to try to add a few sliced baby bella mushrooms. My hubby declared this his new favorite chicken dish. Thanks for the recipe. -
Outstanding! My hubby and I LOVED this dish =D I did everything accordingly except for the flour. I used Italian Style Bread Crumbs instead =) Just lovely. I would probably incorporate a few herbs into the pasta next time (nothing wrong with it the way it is, I just love herbs). Thanks for a keeper ;) -
Made this dish again last night and it rocked. The key is to keep the temp as low a possible while browning the chicken. This way the butter does not cook out. -
This was GREAT!! I found some Turkey scallopini at the grocery store and went looking for a recipe to use. I came across this and made it and my family thought it was wonderful! I did use light butter to cut out some of the calories, but even if it was too many calories it was certainly worth it! Nice recipe!
