Share:
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds skinless boneless chicken breasts 4 portions
- ½ cup all-purpose flour for dredging
- salt and pepper
- 4 eggs
- 3 tablespoons water
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 lices lemon
- ½ cup dry white wine like pinot gris
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2 teaspoons capers for garnish
Instructions
- Put the chicken breasts side by side on a cutting board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over them.
- Pound the chicken breasts with a flat meat mallet, until they are about ¼-inch thick.
- Put some flour in a shallow dish and season it with a fair amount of salt and pepper. Mix with a fork to distribute evenly.
- In a wide bowl, beat the eggs with 3 tablespoons of water to make an egg wash.
- Heat the oil over medium-high flame in a large skillet.
- Dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour.
- Dip the floured chicken in the egg wash to coat completely. Let the excess drip off.
- When the oil is nice and hot, add the cutlets and fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden, turning once.
- Remove the chicken cutlets to a large platter in a single layer.
- Toss the lemon slices into the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the wine, broth, and lemon juice, simmer for 5-7 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly.
- Roll the butter in some flour and add it to the skillet. This will thicken the sauce. Stir to incorporate and dissolve the flour.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and return the chicken to the pan.
- Place the lemon slices on top of the cutlets. Simmer gently for 2 minutes to heat the chicken through.
- Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
