Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 5 oz each) Veal cutlets
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cups Dry white wine
• 0.5 cups Chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Capers (drained)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Place the veal cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and use a meat mallet to pound them to 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each veal cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and sizzling.

Step 4

Work in batches to avoid overcrowding: Add the veal cutlets to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 6

Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium and stir in the lemon juice, capers, and the remaining tablespoon of butter. Let the sauce simmer for 2 more minutes.

Step 8

Return the veal cutlets to the skillet, turning them in the sauce to ensure they are well-coated. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to reheat the veal.

Step 9

Sprinkle with fresh parsley just before serving and transfer the veal scaloppine to a platter. Pour the sauce over the top and serve immediately.
