Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- ½ tablespoon water
- ¾ cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
- olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ⅓ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons), lemon halves reserved
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons brined capers drained
- sliced lemon for serving
- chopped fresh parsley 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 parchment paper or plastic wrap. Use a rolling pin or heavy skillet to pound each out to about 1/4-inch thick.
- Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
- Mix the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a shallow plate. In a second plate, beat the egg and 1/2 tablespoon of water. Place the bread crumbs on a third plate.
- Dip each chicken breast first in the flour, shake off the excess, and then dip in the egg and bread crumb mixtures.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium to medium-low heat.
- Add the chicken breasts and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until browned.
- Place the chicken breasts on the sheet pan and bake for 5 to 10 minutes while you make the sauce.
- For the sauce, wipe out the pan with a dry paper towel. Over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and then add the lemon juice, wine, the reserved lemon halves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Boil over high heat until reduced in half, about 2 minutes.
- Off the heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the capers. Swirl to combine.
- Discard the lemon halves and serve one chicken breast on each plate. Spoon on the sauce and serve with a slice of lemon and a sprinkling of fresh parsley if using.
Notes
- Leftovers may be stored in the refrigerator in a covered container for 2 to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat with a splash of chicken broth or water. Keep in mind that the coating will become soft during storage and won't return to its crisp, fresh cooked state.
