Calories 483kcal

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb Chicken breast boneless skinless butterflied in half lengthways to make thin even pieces
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 3 Eggs lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese grated
  • 4 tbsp Fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 3 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 4 Dinner rolls or bread of your choice

Instructions

  • Preheat a large nonstick pan over medium heat with olive oil.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dip the chicken into the flour to coat well and shake off excess.
  • Lightly beat the egg in a shallow bowl along with the parmesan cheese and 1/2 of the parsley. Dip the flour-coated chicken into the egg to coat both sides well, then into the pan.
  • Cook for about 3 minutes. When chicken is golden brown on one side, flip and cook the other side for about 3 minutes. Remove the chicken and transfer to a plate.
  • In the same pan melt the butter. Mix in 1 - 2 teaspoons of flour and cook for 1 minute while stirring together. Add the broth and lemon juice. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes while stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens to a smooth consistency. (If the sauce is too thick, thin it out with a little more broth, if too thin, continue simmering until it reduces to a creamy consistency.) Garnish with remaining parsley. Serve with dinner rolls.
