2 split (1 whole) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 extra-large egg
1/2 tablespoon water
3/4 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
Good olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, divided
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons), lemon halves reserved
1/2 cup dry white wine
Sliced lemon, for serving
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and pound out to 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.

Over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and then add the lemon juice, wine, the reserved lemon halves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken or tilapia, make sure to give each piece enough space so that it can brown properly.
  • Cook the chicken or tilapia until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken or tilapia reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
