By AzWench

Laced with lemon and simmered in white wine, this stovetop entree is super easy and elegant. Just add sides of bread and veggies to make it into a great meal.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup white wine or chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Minced fresh parsley, optional

Preparation

Step 1

In a shallow bowl, mix flour, salt and pepper. Pound chicken breasts with a meat mallet to 1/2-in. thickness. Dip chicken in flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess.

In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Brown chicken on both sides. Add wine; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 12-15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Drizzle with lemon juice. If desired, sprinkle with parsley. Yield: 4 servings.
