Ingredients
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 egg
1 cup All Purpose flour
Pinch of Garlic Powder
Pinch of Paprika
Chicken Breasts – skinless/boneless*
2 tablespoons butter - melted
1 can chicken broth
Juice of 1 lemon‡

Sauce
1 can chicken broth Juice of 1 lemon.

  • Mix egg with juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Mix flour, Garlic Powder and Paprika together
  • Heat butter in skillet (med-high heat)
  • Dip chicken breasts/cutlets in egg mixture; then dip in flour mixture to coat*
  • Add coated chicken to skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides
  • Mix chicken broth with juice of 1 lemon; pour over chicken in skillet†
  • Reduce heat to med-low and simmer for 8 minutes.

Serve with rice, vegetables or pasta

Optional:
* Try using cutlets, thin slices of chicken breast, instead of the whole, thick breast.

‡ Depending on your taste, you could use less than a whole lemon, so sauce is not as tangy.

† Also, instead of pouring the sauce in the skillet over the chicken, make it in a separate pot; simmer (reduce) the broth a little and add lemon juice; mix a little flour and water till smooth and add to broth mixture to slightly thicken it; simmer about 5 minutes, then serve it with the chicken instead of cooking them together. That way, if someone doesn’t like the sauce, they can still enjoy the chicken.
