   • Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

2. Brown Chicken:

   • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil over high heat until shimmering.
   • Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and brown them on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Once browned, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. Deglaze Pan:

   • Pour the dry white wine into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

4. Add Flavor:

   • To the wine in the skillet, add salt, pepper, and the juice of both lemons along with the remaining canola oil.

5. Bring to a Boil:

   • Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil, allowing it to cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced and fragrant.

6. Finish Cooking:

   • Return the browned chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Allow the chicken to cook in the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

7. Serve:

   • Once the chicken is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the lemon-wine chicken hot, spooning the flavorful sauce over the top.

This lemon-wine chicken is best served immediately, alongside your favorite pasta or a fresh green salad, for a simple yet satisfying meal that’s bursting with bright and tangy flavors. Enjoy! 🍽️🍋
