  • Pancetta Lemon Chicken w/Capers

    I put together this hodge-podge of stuff to try and get the taste of one of my favorite entrees.... Lemon Chicken Scallopini. I was surprised at how well it turned out. Not sure if anyone else here has done this, sorry if this might already been posted in similar fashion ...

    2 pieces boneless chicken breast, pounded flat
    1 tablespoon capers
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    3-4 pieces pancetta (as suggested for serving size on package)
    2 tablespoons heavy cream

    In a sautee pan, sautee the chicken until almost cooked. Remove from heat, drain, put back in pan.
    Fry the pancetta in a separate pan until cooked, then toss into chicken.
    Add in capers, lemon juice, and heavy cream. cooking until all flavors meld together, and cream sauce is just a tad thicker than it was when you poured it out of the carton, lol.

    If my calculations are correct... carb count should be no more than 4 (2 for the cream, 2 for the lemon juice ... feel free to correct me if I'm wrong )

      No problem It's Italian bacon... similar to proscuitto if you've heard of that... here's a better definition of pancetta that I found online:

      Pancetta
      This Italian bacon is cured with spices and salt, but it is not smoked. It is slightly salty, very tasty, and comes in a sausage-like roll.
