Terrible. I thought the whole recipe was terrible from start to finish. I followed it exact. The chicken was bland and combination of flavors that the broccoli rabe was cooked was horrible. Maybe it was the type of wine I used in conjuction with the acidic lemon juice, but it seriously tasted like vomit.
Chicken Scaloppine over Broccoli Rabe
Serve with baby carrots and roasted new potatoes. If you can't find cutlets, place chicken breast halves between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 chicken cutlet and 1/2 cup broccoli rabe mixture)
