An economical and tasty second course with white meat: chicken scallops with mushrooms from today’s recipe on the blog!
The scallops are also cooked with veal or pork, but at home, I often prepare them with chicken and/or turkey, a meat that is very delicate, not too high in calories, and also economical!
As mushrooms, I chose the classic champignons and some pioppini that my son recently loves for their more plump and pleasant texture.
As mentioned in the ingredients, the recipe for chicken and mushroom scallops is equally appetizing with frozen mushrooms with the classic mix, including porcini, found in specialized stores.
The recipe for chicken accompanied by champignon or mixed mushrooms is very simple; to make it, you need to flour the slices of meat and fry them in a pan with a little butter, and then, after sautéing the mushrooms, combine them and serve with a generous sprinkle of fresh parsley!

Preparation for Chicken Scallops with Mushrooms
To prepare chicken scallops with mushrooms, start by slightly pounding the chicken breast slices to make them thinner, then flour them, removing the excess.
In a pan (non-stick is better), add a knob of butter and arrange the floured chicken in a single layer.
Let them brown on both sides over medium-high heat, then season with salt and pepper.
Keep the slices warm on a separate plate and continue preparing the chicken scallops with mushrooms.
In the same pan, add a drizzle of oil with the garlic clove, and once it’s golden, add the cleaned mixed mushrooms using a damp cloth.
Continue cooking over high heat, letting the liquid evaporate, and add the chopped parsley, adjusting the seasoning.
When the mushrooms are cooked, add the tender and tasty chicken scallops, let them flavor for a few minutes, and serve.
Chicken scallops with mushrooms are an easy and appetizing preparation for everyday family meals!
If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a few tablespoons of béchamel or add a tablespoon of flour dissolved in a glass of water to the pan and let it thicken with the cooking juices.
Enjoy your meal!
