Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth instead of canned. If you can't find stew veal, you can substitute with chicken breast or pork chops, adjusting the cooking time as needed. For added depth, sauté the red onion until caramelized before adding the veal. Using a splash of white wine can also enhance the sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the maple veal medallions over a bed of noodles or rice to soak up the delicious sauce. A side of steamed vegetables or a crisp salad pairs beautifully with this dish, adding freshness. For a comforting meal, consider serving with a slice of crusty bread or alongside a bowl of soup like Low-Fat Classic Chicken Pot Pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth to keep the dish moist. Alternatively, you can microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between.
