Ingredients:
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 lemons, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.
-
Coat the Chicken:
- In a pie plate, whisk together the Dijon mustard and eggs.
- In another pie plate, spread out the breadcrumbs.
- Dip each chicken breast first into the mustard mixture, coating both sides, and then into the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
-
Cook the Chicken:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and place them in a baking dish. Keep warm in a 325°F oven.
-
Prepare the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add chicken broth, white wine, lemon juice, capers, salt, and white pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the lemon slices and chopped parsley.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the lemon slices are tender and the sauce has slightly thickened.
-
Serve:
- Arrange the cooked chicken breasts on serving plates.
- Spoon the lemon-caper sauce over the chicken.
- Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
