INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE CHICKEN

  • Place each piece of chicken in between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with the flat end of a meat mallet to create thin cutlets.
  • Place the flour, salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix until combined.
  • Place the eggs and milk in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat.
  • Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the pan.
  • Cook for 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and cover to keep warm. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.

FOR THE SAUCE

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan over medium heat. Add the lemon slices. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until lemon slices have browned. Remove the lemon slices from the pan.
  • Add the rest of the butter to the pan, and cook until melted. Add the flour and cook for one minute, stirring constantly.
  • Pour in the white wine and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and simmer for an additional 4-5 minutes or until sauce has just thickened.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Return the chicken to the pan. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, then top with cooked lemon slices. Sprinkle with parsley, then serve immediately.
