Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken. Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to create two thin cutlets. Season both sides of each cutlet with salt and pepper.
In a shallow dish, place the flour. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with grated Parmesan cheese.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip the cutlet in the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides.
Place the chicken cutlets in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the white wine and chicken broth. Use a spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the lemon juice and butter to the skillet, stirring until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Return the chicken to the skillet and coat each piece with the sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with your choice of pasta or vegetables.
