Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure even cooking. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Dredge the Chicken

    Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Then, dip them in the beaten eggs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, melt 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and sauté for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Lemon Butter Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the remaining butter, lemon juice, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet and coat with the lemon butter sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley if desired.
