Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound chicken cutlets (scallopine)
- 2 shallots, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season the chicken
cutlets with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken until golden and cooked
through, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to serving
plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Turn the heat to medium, add the
shallot and the garlic and cook until tender, about 2 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with the white wine. Using a wooden spoon, scrape all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the wine is almost evaporated.
Add the chicken broth and saffron threads, bring to a simmer and reduce for 10 minutes. Add the cream, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and simmer for 1 minute to blend the flavors. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Very easy recipe which I followed to a tee. Although I am a vegetarian I didn't mind cooking this dish for my husband who gave me full points and described it as "by far the best chicken dish yet"! I chose mashed potatoes on the side. Will surely keep this on my regular cooking plans : Thank you Giada!

Easy and great flavor. The chicken came out nice and tender. I had saffron given to me from the Orient and it was flavorful!
