Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lb chicken breast (2 large, patted dry)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp parsley (to garnish, optional)
  • 1/2 lemon (sliced for garnish, optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 8 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise and pat them dry.
  2. Use a meat mallet to gently pound the chicken until it’s evenly thick.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, one clove of minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  4. In another bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese with the all-purpose flour.
  5. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, then dredge it in the Parmesan mixture to create a nice coating.
  6. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  7. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  8. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, adding a pinch of black pepper. Allow it to simmer for about 2 minutes.
  9. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the chicken, turning to coat evenly.
  10. Garnish with lemon slices and parsley, then serve immediately.

Notes

For a lighter side, serve with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables. Consider marinating chicken beforehand for extra flavor.
