Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts skinless,boneless
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken: Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin until they are about 1/2-inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge the Chicken: Place flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

  • Finish the Dish: Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted. Sprinkle with parsley and garnish with lemon slices.
  • Serve: Plate the chicken and spoon the sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
