💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is a healthier fat option.

white wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Chicken broth adds flavor without alcohol.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Pecorino offers a similar flavor at a lower cost.

Slice chicken breast into two escalopes (thin cutlets).

Season flour with salt and black pepper.

Dredge chicken escalopes in the seasoned flour.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan.

Add a knob of butter to the pan to prevent burning.

Once the butter starts to melt, add the chicken escalopes to the pan.

Rinse the salt from the capers and squeeze out excess water.

Add the capers to the pan to fry with the chicken.

Chop chives finely; add half to the pan now and reserve the other half for later.

Cook the chicken for about 1 to 1.5 minutes until ready.

Pour in 3 to 4 tablespoons of Vin Santo and let it bubble to cook off the alcohol while retaining the flavor.

Add two more knobs of butter at the end and shake the pan.
