Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and cube the pumpkin into even-sized pieces.
- Slice the red peppers into strips.
- Place the pumpkin and red pepper slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Lightly coat the vegetables with a short spray of cooking spray oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and the peppers are slightly charred.
- While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the chicken breasts. Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or wax paper.
- Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Lightly spray the skillet with cooking spray oil.
- Add the flattened chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a plate.
- While the chicken is resting, spoon 1/4 cup of ricotta cheese onto each chicken breast, spreading it evenly across the top.
- Once the vegetables are done roasting, remove them from the oven.
- Serve the chicken scaloppine topped with ricotta cheese alongside the roasted pumpkin and red peppers.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, such as parsley or basil.
- Enjoy your delicious Chicken Scaloppine with Ricotta and Vegetables!
Tips:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper before cooking to enhance the flavor.
- Roast the pumpkin and red peppers beforehand for a deeper, caramelized flavor.
- Use a non-stick skillet to cook the chicken for a perfectly golden outer layer without excess oil.
- Let the cooked chicken rest for a few minutes before cutting to keep the juices intact.
