By

  • 25 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6–8 oz. each)
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Slice each breast crosswise into 4 pieces. Pound each piece in a
resealable plastic bag to about 1/4-inch-thick cutlets using a meat
mallet, then season with salt and pepper. Place flour and egg into
separate shallow dishes. Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium-high.
Dredge cutlets in flour, then dip into egg, allowing excess to drip
off. Place cutlets into preheated oil and sauté until golden on both sides, about 4 minutes total; remove from pan.

Add wine to pan; reduce by half. Squeeze in lemon juice, simmer 2 minutes, then swirl in butter. Return chicken to pan to heat through and coat with sauce. Garnish each serving with almonds and parsley.
