About

Some more proof that just because a dish is a little old-fashioned doesn't mean it's skimping out on flavor! Old-World Chicken Scallopini pan-sears the savory chicken until golden-brown, then tosses it with tender pasta and a light, creamy, poultry-flavored sauce with just a hint of refreshing lemon! No one can leave the table hungry after diving into a plate of Old-World Chicken Scallopini! It's just not possible; people will be asking for seconds and thirds before that ever happens!
