Veal Scaloppine
Why I Love This Recipe
Somewhat of a controversy, at least in the US where crating is still practiced, this works equally well with chicken breast cutlets. Add lemon juice and capers to the pan sauce and you have Veal or Chicken Piccata. I was out of parsley when I made this... oops..
