Ingredients
MUSHROOM SAUCE
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp green onion - finely
1 chopped (white part only)
2 cup mushrooms - thinly sliced
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 salt & freshly ground pepper
1 nutmeg
1 cayenne pepper
CHICKEN
1 lb chicken breasts - boned
1 and skinned,
OR VEAL SCALLOPINE
2 tbsp flour
1 salt & freshly ground pepper
1 egg
2 tbsp water
1 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
5 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
Directions
CHICKEN:
Pound meat between sheets of waxed paper until thin. Combine flour,
salt and pepper in pie plate. Beat egg with water in shallow dish.
Dredge meat in flour; dip in egg mixture; roll well in breadcrumbs.
LET SIT ON WAX PAPER FOR 10 MINUTES!!! Heat oil and butter in large
skillet over medium-high heat. Add meat in batches and saute until
browned, turning once, about 3-5 minutes, adding more oil and butter
if necessary. Keep warm and spoon mushroom sauce (see recipe).
MUSHROOM SAUCE:
Combine broth and flour in small bowl and stir until flour is
dissolved. Melt butter in skillet over medium high heat. Add onion
and saute until tender, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium; add
mushrooms; saute 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in broth. Increase heat to
medium high and cook until slightly thick, stirring occasionally,
about 10 minutes. Blend in cream, salt and pepper. Season to taste
with nutmeg and cayenne pepper. VARIATION: For thicker gravy, delete
the whipping cream. Gravy will also be browner too. (Or add Kitchen
Bouquet to darken sauce.) NOTE: We find that if we are making this
for company it is best to use TWO frying pans to speed things up.
Also, this is wonderful when served with Fettucine Alfredo and
Stuffed Tomatoes!
Servings: 4 servings

The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, fennel and dill. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as basil and coriander. These new culinary innovations created a surge in recipe books, some of which are kept safe in private collections. The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
