Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • ½ cup flour
  • ¼ cup Olive oil
  • 3 large eggs , cold
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley , chopped, divided + more for garnish
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (or any other hard cheese)
  • ½ cup butter , cubed
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • ½ cup dry white wine

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound gently with a mallet to ½ inch thickness. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
  • While oil is heating, break the eggs into a shallow bowl and whisk lightly. Add 2 tablespoons parsley, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and whisk to incorporate. Spread the flour in a shallow platter. Dredge chicken pieces in the flour (both sides), then dip into the egg batter, letting the excess drip off.
  • Place the chicken cutlets in the skillet, without crowding. Cook until golden brown on both sides (about 2 minutes per side). Transfer to a platter. Don't cover, because the coating can become soggy.
  • Drain the oil and return the skillet to medium heat. Melt the butter. Add the wine and lemon juice, and simmer for a couple of minutes to reduce the sauce slightly. Stir in 1 tablespoon parsley.
  • Spoon the sauce over the chicken cutlets. Garnish with chopped parsley. You can top it with lemon slices. Enjoy!
