Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts

- 50g (2 oz) Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp butter, divided
- 1/2 lemon, juiced

Instructions
Step 1:
In a large dish, crack the eggs, season with salt and pepper, and lightly beat.
Step 2:
Add half of the chopped parsley to the egg mixture, reserving the rest for garnish.
Step 3:
Grate the Parmesan and mix it into the egg mixture. Set aside.
Step 4:
Prepare the chicken by butterflying the breasts and flattening the thicker side with a meat mallet under cling film.
Step 5:
Spread flour on a plate for dredging, and prepare white wine and chicken stock.
Step 6:
In a skillet over moderate heat, add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.
Step 7:
Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the egg wash to coat fully.
Step 8:
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate to rest.
Step 9:
In the same pan over high heat, add the white wine, chicken stock, garlic, and lemon juice. Let it reduce for 2 minutes.

Add the remaining parsley and butter, stirring on low heat until the butter melts.
