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.

Seasonal produce guide

I love fresh produce! And I found this seasonal produce guide very interesting, and helpful. These are the kinds of things I would look for at the Farmer’s Markets right now.

Want to make it vegan?

Simply use vegan butter or olive oil and vegan Parmesan for the buns. And use veganise for the aioli.

Ingredients
  

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.

    This looks like the best sandwich ever! I LOVE aoli. Anytime I see something with aoli on the menu, I always order it. I am going to look for the Gardein products next time I go grocery shopping!

    Love how a toasted bun lifts up a sandwich, as will an easy lemon aioli. Sounds wonderful!

    just bought some of Gardein’s black bean burger patties, we love those! Now I definitely need to try this new option! Love an easy meaty (meatloess!) sandwich – your recipe looks delicious!
