Italian Chicken Fillets
An old Florentine chicken recipe
Equipment
- skillet
Ingredients
- 2 chicken fillets breast or thigh
- 1 stick butter divided
- 1 cup flour for gluten free use rice flour or almond flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- First, if your chicken fillets are frozen just thaw them out in the microwave. While they are thawing out put a skillet on at medium high and add 1/2 of the butter.
- Next, in a bowl put the flour, salt and pepper. For gluten free you could use rice flour or almond flour. I couldn't stop myself from adding a little grated parmesan cheese. But, that's up to you. When you look at the ingredients amounts in the recipe you'll see that it lists more pepper than you might think. It adds just a little bit of spiciness to the taste. Stir it up to get it mixed evenly.
- While the butter in the skillet is heating up dredge the chicken in the flour. Carefully lay the fillets in the skillet and cook them for about 3-6 minutes a side depending on their thickness.
- Add the second part of the butter and when it has melted. Turn over the fillets. Spoon some of the butter on to the fillets. Lower the heat down to a very low flame and put a lid on the skillet. Let it cook for 15 minutes. Or, you could put it in the oven set at 300°F for 15 minutes.
- Uncover the pan. Taste the butter mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed. Baste the fillets with the liquid. Then serve it up. You could top it with some grated parmesan and some parsley. That's up to you.
