• The Sauce:
• 3 whole chicken breasts, boned, skinned and halved
• 1.5 cup unbleached flour
• 1/3 cup butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• salt and pepper
• 4 tbsp butter

wash and dry chicken breasts. Pound them flat with a mallet. Melt butter and oil in a large skillet. Put the flour in a plastic bag and drop the breasts in to coat. Regulate the heat to moderately high and put the chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook approximately 3 minutes on each side. When they are done, salt and pepper them and put them on an oven proof dish and into a 250 degree oven to keep warm while you make the sauce.

Add butter to the chicken skillet & melt, scraping up brown bits in pan. Remove from heat; add 4 tbsp finely chopped parsley, and the lemon juice. Pour hot sauce over breasts and serve.
