Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless chicken breast; 1 tablespoon kosher salt; 2 teaspoons garlic powder; 2 teaspoons onion powder; 1/2 cup AP flour for dredging; 4 eggs, beaten; 1/8 cup water; 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil; 1/2 cup white wine; 1 cup chicken stock; 1 tablespoon unsalted butter; 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped fine, for garnish (optional); 2 lemons, one juiced and zested, one for garnish

Servings: persons

1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless chicken breast
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 cup AP flour for dredging
4 eggs, beaten
1/8 cup water
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped fine, for garnish (optional)
2 lemons, one juiced and zested, one for garnish

1
Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise and season with salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2
Place flour in a shallow bowl. Beat eggs and water into a second shallow bowl. Place bowls side by side.
3
Heat a cast iron skillet on medium with the oil until it begins to shimmer.
4
Dredge the chicken in the flour to fully coat. Then, dip each side in the egg wash, letting the excess drip back into the bowl.
5
Place them into the hot oil and cook on medium until the egg begins to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Once cooked through, remove to a side plate.
6
Once all the chicken is cooked and set aside, add butter to the pan and scrape up all the brown bits. Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining flour into the pan and whisk to combine with the butter.
7
Add lemon juice, zest, wine, and stock. Allow the sauce to simmer on low for about 10 minutes. It should reduce by half.
8
Carefully strain the sauce into a bowl or large measuring cup to remove any brown bits.
9
Place the chicken back into the pan and pour the sauce over it. Garnish with parsley and lemon slices if desired.
