Ingredients
Directions
- Cut chicken into 3 cutlets. Place each piece between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and pound out to ¼-inch thick. Add chicken to a plate and drizzle 1 tablespoon lemon juice over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle both sides with a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Place the flour and parmesan on a plate. In a shallow bowl, add the egg and beat well. Dip each chicken breast first in the egg, then the flour mixture.
- In a large nonstick pan, heat olive oil. Add the breaded chicken breasts. Cover pan and cook chicken for 3 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully turn over chicken, cover, and cook for about 2 minutes more until chicken is cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside while you make the sauce.
- To make the sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter. Add wine and lemon juice and a little salt and pepper. Simmer over medium-high heat until reduced in half, about 2 minutes.
- To serve: add 1 chicken breast to each plate. Divide sauce and spoon over each chicken breast. Enjoy!
