Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz/170g each), pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup (60ml) dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 1-2 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Pound chicken breasts to 1/4-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
- Whisk together eggs, Parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
- Dredge each chicken cutlet lightly in flour, then dip thoroughly into the egg batter, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté chicken cutlets in a single layer until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C), about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Add white wine to the skillet and deglaze, scraping up any browned bits.
- Add chicken broth and lemon juice to the skillet. Simmer for a few minutes, until slightly reduced. Stir in remaining butter and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the cutlets. Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired, and serve immediately.
