Chicken Scaloppine with Vegetables

Chicken scaloppine with vegetables recipe

The harvest in the garden becomes more varied every day; some vegetables are stored in the freezer for the winter season, others we consume immediately.

Between lunch and dinner, with vegetables and wild herbs that I let grow undisturbed, I have no problems.

Green onions, chard, zucchini flowers, purslane, lamb’s quarter, amaranth, arugula… We don’t get bored

The other night, meat entered our menu; we eat very little of it, once or twice a month, unless we have guests.

I have chickens but only for eggs, occasionally I buy something because Enzo is more of a carnivore than me, and I can’t force him to eat only vegetables, although he appreciates them.

In this case, the supplies led me to cook some chicken breast, which is actually a bit of a fridge-cleaning recipe… Chicken breast, green onion including the greens, zucchini, a tablespoon of spreadable cheese, and zucchini flowers; in a few minutes, a main dish and side are ready!
