scaloppine

Thin sautéed meat

Scaloppine are thin slices of meat, typically veal, pounded flat and quickly sautéed.

The Italian term appears on American menus in preparations like veal scaloppine with lemon and capers or chicken scaloppine marsala.

The singular scaloppina is rarely used in English; the dish is usually ordered and served as scaloppine regardless of portion size.
