Ingredients
  • 10 ounce fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 3 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • 6 hot cherry peppers, seeded and sliced
  • salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. Blanch the mushroom slices in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside. Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Gently pound each piece of chicken to slightly less than a ¼-inch in thickness. Dredge the chicken scaloppine in flour, shaking off the excess. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the chicken until lightly browned, about 1 minute on each side. Drain excess oil from skillet. Add the stock, tomato sauce, red pepper flakes, cherry peppers, and mushrooms. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Salt and pepper, to taste.
