Preparation

Step 1

Pound chicken breasts with meat mallet to a uniform 1/2-inch thickness. Dredge lightly in flour, reserving excess.

In large saute pan, over medium-high heat, melt butter with oil until it sizzles. Add chicken breasts and cook 4 to 5 minutes, turning over once until juices run clear. Remove chicken to plate.

Stir reserved flour into saute pan. Whisk in broth and lemon juice; heat to boiling. Boil 1 minute to thicken slightly. Return chicken to pan to heat through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve chicken with lemon sauce over rice.
