What does chicken escalope mean?
Chef's answer
An escalope is traditionally a piece of boneless meat that has been thinned out using a mallet or rolling pin or beaten with the handle of a knife, or merely butterflied. The mallet breaks down the fibres in the meat, making it more tender. But the thinner meat cooks faster with more moisture loss..
