How to Make Macaroni Grill Chicken Scaloppine?

Here’s how you can make this effortlessly-

Step-1 

Take the beaten chicken breasts and coat them in flour. Coat each side properly.

Step-2

Put your frying pan on the stove at medium heat. Now put olive oil in 1 cup. Let the oil warm for 1 minute. Put the chicken pieces when the oil is perfectly warm. Soak them for 3 minutes. Flip up them midway. Now place them on an aluminium foil sheet to absorb extra oil. 

Step-3

Wrap the chicken pieces with the sheet and place them in your oven at 175°. It’s because of keeping them warm until your next use.

Step-4

Now, you need to go to make the sauce. This time, put the sliced mushrooms in the pan of olive oil. Keep stirring for 5 minutes. Let them coat with oil properly. Place them on a plate.

Step-5

Now, get the bean ready. So, put a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Now put the beans into the boiling water and boil them for 4 minutes. Your beans are boiled.

Step-6

Take a bowl of ice water and place the hot beans in the water. Cold water will ensure the beans aren’t boiling anymore. 

Step-7

It’s now time to cook the bacon. So, preheat a frying pan to medium-high heat. Put oil and let it warm. Now put the bacon in and make them crispy. Once they look brown on both sides, heat them off.

Step-8

Wrap the bacon into a paper towel to remove the extra grease. Now place them onto your cutting board and cut them into evenly sized slices.

Step-9

Now fry the diced onions in the pan for 5 minutes at low heat. Let them be brown. Take a chunk of butter and add it to the pan. Let it mix with onions. Now add the minced garlic clove. Saute for 2 minutes.

Step-10

Add beans and saute them for 5 more minutes. And add bacon. Keep stirring for 5 minutes. Place them on a plate and keep them aside.

Step-11

Now put the pan on the stove and put olive oil again. Add capers and saute into the oil. Add the sauteed mushrooms, wine, and caper juice. Stir them for 2 minutes. 

Step-12

Add the chicken stock and ½ cup of flour to thicken the mixture. Stir for 5 minutes. 

And heat off. 

Step-13

You have to boil the macaroni in salted hot water. Bring a pot and boil ½ litre of salted water. Put the macaroni and cook them for 6 minutes. Your dish is almost ready. 

Step-14

Take a serving plate and keep some parsley on the corner and 2 lemon slices to make it look good and colorful. Now put 3 tbsp of macaroni. Put 3 slices of chicken scaloppine on top of the macaroni (add more pieces if you want). 

Now on another side of the plate, put the green sauteed beans. Put the sauce over the macaroni scaloppine (a sauce that you made with chicken stock). Sprinkle some dried parsley over the entire dish. You’re Done!
