Preparation

Step 1

Cut chicken into 4 cutlets, then place cutlets between 2 sheets of parchment paper and pound out to ¼ inch thickness. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.

In a shallow plate, beat the egg whites and 1 teaspoon of water together. Place the bread crumbs in another plate. Dip each chicken breast first in egg, then bread crumbs.

Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Spray a generous amount of olive oil spray on one side of the chicken and lay it in the pan, oil side down. Spray the top of the chicken generously to coat and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through. Set aside until you make the sauce.

For the sauce, clean the sauté pan. Over medium heat, melt butter, add the lemon juice, wine, chicken broth and the reserved lemon halves, salt and pepper. Boil over high heat until reduced in half, about 2 minutes. Discard the lemon halves, add the capers and serve one chicken cutlet on each plate. Spoon on the sauce and serve with a slice of lemon and a sprinkling of fresh parsley.
