INGREDIENTS

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved
  • 5 teaspoons all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS

  1. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. In a shallow bowl, combine 4 tablespoons flour, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Dip chicken into eggs; coat with flour mixture.
  2. In a large skillet, cook chicken in 1 tablespoon butter and oil over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the remaining flour, salt and pepper; stir in broth until smooth. Add apple juice to the skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits. Stir broth mixture and add to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly.
  4. Stir in lemon juice; cook for 1 minute. Add parsley and remaining butter; cook and stir until butter is melted. Serve over chicken.

Wow! This recipe is UNBELIEVABLE! Keep in mind this recipe only serves 2 so I doubled it up to feed my family. I was a little skeptical with the measurements and worried that doubling it up may not allow the sauce to thicken right, but it turned out PERFECT! I did not use apple juice but used chicken broth instead. I also added 4 cloves of minced garlic and shallots while browning the chicken. I changed up the breading a bit to suit my families tastes and added italian breadcrumbs, crushed red peppers and Garli Garni (my favorite garlic seasoning!) to the mix. I added an extra splash or two of lemon at the end. This was OUTSTANDING! I contemplated tripling the sauce and serving it over white rice as a side dish, however, I don't think this sauce would be good served over rice or pasta. It's just perfect over chicken and I also bet it would be great on pork. Thank you for the fabulous recipe! This is one of my all time favorites from this site!

I loved this recipe, and so did the rest of my family. I didn't have any apple juice, so I substituted chicken broth mixed with about an 1/8 cup of marsala wine. The wine gave it just the right flavor. My only complaint is I didn't have any leftovers :)
