I made this recipe before I joined 'Zaar. It was decadent. I added a clove of garlic to the sauce, and used a chicken recipe my mom had on hand. I left out the pancetta, and my mom doesn't like artichoke hearts or capers, so it had some empty spots in it. My dad said it tasted like the Brio's scallopini. (The Brio is this very nice Tuscan franchise). I will make it again, but only for special occasions (that's a lot of butter!)

I LOVE Macaroni Grill and the Scaloppine di Pollo is all I ever order. I found this recipe and decided to try it...absolutely GREAT! I cut the sauce recipe in half but everything else I followed exactly. I used Boar's Head pancetta, and Vigo's Marinated Artichoke Hearts--the best in my opinion. I also used chicken breast cutlets instead of boneless chicken breasts. I like the cutlets because they cook quickly. GREAT recipe...we felt like we had eaten at Macaroni Grill. I will definitely make again.

We enjoyed this. I was very nervous about the butter-it seems like so much, so I only used 2 sticks. The lemon sauce was smooth and rich, and very tart (DH thought it was too tart, but I enjoyed it). I'm sure with the extra butter it would be less tart. Overall, the recipe came together well, and we ended up with a beautiful meal that I will make again. Thank you.
