SUBMITTED BY: SMLUCY      PHOTO BY: Ahmilya

"Thin, breaded chicken breasts topped with a flavorful lime-butter sauce. Pounding the breasts doesn't take long and the resulting tender chicken is worth it."

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2/3 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed

DIRECTIONS

  1. Coat chicken breasts with egg, and dip in bread crumbs. Place on a wire rack, and allow to dry for about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken into the skillet, and fry for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a platter, and keep warm.
  3. Drain grease from the skillet, and squeeze in lime juice. Cook over low heat until it boils. Add butter, and stir until melted. Season with chives and dill. Spoon sauce over chicken, and serve immediately.

I made this last night--it was a huge hit at my house. The sauce is excellent--tangy, zesty, summery, and creamy--it's a refreshing change! Because the breasts are breaded, they soak up the savory flavor. *Hint*: I substituted italian-seasoned/garlic bread crumbs and two stalkes of freshly chopped green onions for the plain bread crumbs and chives, which tasted scrumptious! This dish also reheats great!

WOW! WHAT A REFRESHING DISH. I prepared our dinner updated for 6 with 4 guests with side dishes of Balsamic Rice. An Orange Mixed Greens salad with Olive Oil and a ginger vinegar salad dressing Chicken Breast was a winner, our guests proclaimed.Grandma Jewel

My family loves this recipe! Instead of using Chicken Breasts I used Chicken tenders. It worked very well. Made it kind of like chicken strips.
