What should I cook - Veal, Chicken or Beef - recipe suggestions?

I am unsure what to cook for dinner tomorrow night - I have some veal, chicken breasts or diced beef and am unsure which one to cook - also some recipe suggestions for them would be great and might help me decide!What should I cook - Veal, Chicken or Beef - recipe suggestions?
Since Veal has a shorter refrigerator shelf life I'd work with that first:





VEAL SCALLOPINI ALLA MARSALA





Serves 4





Ingredients:


2 lbs. veal round


1 cup all purpose flour


1 cube butter


2 Tbl. extra virgin olive oil


1 cup diced scallions


1 cup sliced shitake or brown mushrooms


1 cup Marsala wine


1/2 tsp. oregano, dried


1 tsp. fresh basil leaves, chopped


1 Tbl. salt


1 Tbl. white pepper


1 cup chicken broth for thining sauce





Prep:


Have your butcher slice the veal very thin [(No more than 1/4 in.). Pound the slices to tenderize them,


or have your butcher run them one through the tenderizer. Cut the tenderized slices into about 2 1/2


by 2 1/2 pieces. Take the flour, salt, pepper and oregano and place into a plast or brown paper bag


and mix well. Add the veal medalions to the bag and shake well until the veal medallions are well


coated with the flour mixture.





Heat the butter and olive oil in a deep non-stick skillet or chicken cooker and saute the scallions lightly.


Remove the scallions from the skittet with a slotted spoon, and in the oil, brown the veal medallions


on both side, being careful not to over-cook. You may have to brown the medallions a few at a time.


When the medallions ar browned, return them to the skillet with the sauted scallions and add the basil


and Marsala wine. Simmer until a rich sauce forms. (If sauce is too thick, you can add some chicken


broth.)





Add mushrooms and simmer for another 2-3 minutes and serve.


NOTE: This dish can be served over linguini, fettuccini or rice.What should I cook - Veal, Chicken or Beef - recipe suggestions?
