By GmaJan12

Ingredients

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each)
• 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons butter, divided
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3/4 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup apple juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. In a shallow bowl, combine 4 tablespoons flour, cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Coat chicken with flour, then dip into egg mixture.

In a large skillet, cook chicken in 1 tablespoon butter and oil over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.

In a small bowl, combine remaining, salt and pepper; stir in broth until smooth. Add apple juice to the skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits. Stir broth mixture and add to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.

Stir in lemon juice; cook for 1 minute. Add parsley and remaining butter; cook and stir until butter is melted. Serve with chicken.
