Chicken Breasts Sautes Recipe

(Petti di pollo alla saute)

Cut the breast of a fowl in very thin slices, give them the best

possible shape and make a whole piece from the little pieces that will

remain, cleaning well the breast-bone, crushing and mixing these. Season

with salt and pepper and dip the slices in beaten eggs, leaving them for

a few hours. Sprinkle with bread crumbs ground fine and saute in butter.

Serve with lemon.

If you want this dish more elaborate prepare a sauce in the following

way: Put some good olive oil in a frying pan, just enough to cover the

bottom, and cover the oil with a layer of dry mushrooms. Sprinkle over

a small quantity of grated cheese and some bread crumbs. Repeat the same

operation three or four times, according to the quantity, and finally

season with olive oil, salt and pepper and small pieces of butter. Put

the pan over the fire and when it has begun to boil pour a small cup of

brown stock or broth and a little lemon juice. Remove the same from the

fire and pour it on the chicken breast that have been browned as

described above.
