CHICKEN SCALLOPINI IN BRANDY SAUCE

I was intrigued by the brandy sauce in this recipe, but don’t usually make veal so decided to give it a try on chicken.   I have to tell you there was nothing left, nada, so I know they loved every bite.  It didn’t hurt that they said I could make it again.  Next time I will add some thinly sliced green onions and mushrooms.
