This elegant dish, with tender chicken in a lemony, buttery sauce, is perfect for a special meal at home.

    Ingredients

    • 2 chicken breasts
    • 1/2 cup plain flour
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 handful fresh parsley, finely chopped (reserve some for garnish)
    • 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
    • Salt and pepper

    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.

    Step 10:
    Add the remaining parsley and butter, stirring on low heat until the butter melts.

    Step 11:
    Return the chicken to the pan for 30 seconds to heat through.

    Step 12:
    Serve on warm plates, garnishing with parsley sprigs.
