- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 4 chicken breasts halves, boneless skinless (4 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup butter cubed
- 1/4 cup white wine or chicken broth
- 1 tbs lemon juice
- parsley minced, fresh, optional
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, mix flour, salt and pepper. Pound chicken breasts with a meat mallet to 1/2-in. thickness. Dip chicken in flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess.

Notes
Laced with lemon and simmered in white wine, this stovetop entree is super easy and elegant. Just add sides of bread and veggies to make it into a great meal. —Cynthia Heil, Augusta,
