Scallopini

Well, what is scallopini?

It’s an Italian dish that comes in many forms. It consists of thinly sliced meat or meat-less protein, that’s dredged in spices and lightly sauced.

Scalloppini al limone or piccata, is with a caper and lemon sauce. So, my sandwich could also be called a chicken piccata sandwich. Just toss a few capers on top.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

Parmesan toasted buns:

• 2 whole wheat buns
• 2 tablespoons butter
• ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Lemon aioli:

• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

scallopini:

• 2 Gardein chick’n scallopini

handful arugula

Instructions

 

Make Parmesan toasted buns:

• Spread butter on the inside of each side of the bun. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the butter, adding more if desired. Place buns in a large skillet Parmesan side down, and cook over medium heat until Parmesan has browned and is crispy. Place toasted buns on plates.

Make lemon aioli:

• Mix mayo, lemon juice, and lemon zest together in a small bowl until it’s smooth. Set aside.

Make chicken scallopini:

• Sauté Gardein chick’n scallopini from frozen in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 1 minute each side. Add 3 tablespoons of water, cover, and cook for 2 minutes. Uncover, turn, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Internal temperature should be 165 ° F. Let rest for 1 minute before serving. Do not overcook – it’s not meat.

Assemble sandwiches:

• Place a handful of arugula on the bun, and top with chick’n scallopini. Drizzle lemon aioli over the top.
