When people hear I have a food blog and mostly post about desserts, I know the wheels in their head are turning and they wonder how in the world I can make all those cookies, cheesecakes and cupcakes and still eat healthy. While I have to admit, blogging about desserts can be derailing to healthy eating, with a little discipline and a good arsenal of healthy and delicious recipes, there is no reason to get off track.

Our healthy main courses usually consist of chicken or fish, because when I come home from work, I need something that can be ready in less than an hour starting from scratch. One of our favorites, and something that I have made several times in the last month, is this Chicken Scallopini. Made with NatureRaised Farms® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Portions, the recipe is super easy and yet still tender and flavorful. I don’t know about you, but there is nothing worse than a shoe leather chicken breast. I promise this is nothing like that.

Growing up on a small farm and raising our own chickens for meat, I was pretty spoiled when it came to quality chicken: something I didn’t realize until I moved away and started shopping for my own chicken. NatureRaised Farms chicken is the high quality that I’ve been missing: 100% natural* (no added antibiotics, steroids or hormones**) and the chickens are raised in modern, open barns with a safe place to go in bad weather and fed a 100% vegetarian diet. Farmers that take good care of their animals make me happy. Plus, the chicken is super easy to find in the freezer section of your local Sam’s Club.

Ready in 45 minutes or less, the chicken is browned in a skillet, flavored with garlic, mushrooms and a white wine sauce and baked until tender.

Ingredients

  • 1 to 1 and ½ pounds NatureRaised Farms® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Portions
  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 6 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • ½ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 F. Thaw the chicken breasts portions and pound them to an even 1/2 inch thickness. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and olive oil in a skillet to a medium high heat. Add a clove of minced garlic. Flour the chicken lightly and brown in two batches until golden, about 3 minutes. Between batches, add additional butter, olive oil and garlic clove.

Place the browned chicken in an oven proof casserole dish. Heat the last 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet and sauté the mushrooms until tender. Add the lemon juice, chicken broth, and white wine and bring to a simmer. Pour the mushrooms and juice over the chicken in the casserole dish. Bake at 325 F. for 30 minutes or until cooked through.

  10. Excellent! Thank you for a great recipe. Because I only made two chicken breasts, and I used my cast iron skillet, I put the chicken back into the skillet after I sautéed the mushrooms, and baked the chicken. Therefore I only dirtied one pan. 😎

  12. Wow! This was fantastic. The chicken only needed 15 minutes in the oven. Like someone else
    noted, I only used one pan, my trusty cast iron. Served it with green beans and wild rice. This gets moved to the “do it again” folder. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
