Southwestern Chicken Scaloppine image

I found this recipe on the Pillsbury website. I had everything on hand, so made it. How easy! I felt the red pepper sauce made it a bit more full-bodied than I prefer, but it was good, nonetheless. I kept the original instructions, but I prefer to pre-heat a stainless steel pan on a higher heat, then reduce when the meat is put in.

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 - boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup(s) flour
1 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) canola oil
1/2 cup(s) chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon(s) red pepper sauce, if desired

Steps:

  • Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place chicken breast half with smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4" thick. Repeat with remaining chicken. Cut chicken into smaller pieces, if desired.
  • In shallow dish, mix flour, cumin, and salt. Coat chicken with flour mixture. Reserve 1 teaspoon flour mixture.

Remove chicken from skillet; cover to keep warm. In small bowl, stir reserved 1 teaspoon of flour mixture into broth. Gradually stir broth mixture and red pepper sauce into skillet.
