Ingredients
  
  • 4 Boneless chicken breasts
Breading
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon White pepper
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1 Zest of lemon
  • 4 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Sauce
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup White wine
  • 1/2 cup Heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Instructions
 
  • Place a boneless chicken breast between two pieces of waxed paper or cling film.
    Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken pieces until they are uniform in thickness, about 1/2 inch flat.
    This ensures even cooking.
  • In one bowl, mix together 1 cup of flour with 1 teaspoon of white pepper.
    In another bowl, prepare your bread crumb mixture by combining 1 cup of breadcrumbs with the zest of one lemon if desired for additional flavor.
    Dredge each piece of flattened chicken in flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, shaking off any excess.
    Dip the flour-coated chicken into the bread crumb mixture until well coated on both sides.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
    Once the butter has melted and started to bubble, add the breaded chicken breasts.
    Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
    The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • After removing the chicken, use the same pan to make the sauce.
    Add 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and 1/2 cup of white wine to the pan.
    Let the mixture simmer and reduce by half, then stir in 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream.
    Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, then whisk in an additional 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until the sauce is smooth and velvety.
  • Serve the chicken hot, drizzled with the lemon-butter sauce.
    Pair the dish with a crisp, fresh salad to complement the rich flavors of the chicken Christopher.
