Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4  boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1  cup  all-purpose flour
  • 2  eggs
  • 1  tablespoon  water
  • 2  cups  Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs  (you can also use Panko)
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 6  tablespoons  unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2/3  cup  freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4 lemons), keep the lemon halves
  • 1  cup  dry white wine
  • Lemon wedges
  • Chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves, for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound until they are 1/4-inch thick. You can use either a meat tenderizer, or a rolling pin to pound the chicken. Season both sides with salt and pepper.Mix the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper in a shallow plate. In a second plate, beat the eggs and 1 tablespoon of water together. Place the bread crumbs or panko on a third plate. Dip each chicken breast first in the flour, shake off excess, and then dip in the egg and bread crumb mixtures.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Place them on the sheet pan and bake for 5 to 10 minutes while you make the sauce. Because they are so thin, they will cook quickly!
  • For the sauce, wipe out the sauté pan with a dry paper towel. Who doesn’t love a recipe that uses the same pan without even having to wash it! Over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Once the butter is melted add the lemon juice, wine, the reserved lemon halves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil and continue to boil over high heat until reduced in half, about 2 minutes. Remove from the stove, add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and swirl to combine.
  • Discard the lemon halves and serve the chicken on a platter, spoon the sauce over the chicken and garnish with parsley and additional lemon wedges.
