  • Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • Thinly sliced chicken cutlets
  • All-purpose flour for dredging
  • Eggs for egg batter

  • Chicken broth as sauce base
  • Lemon juice for tangy flavor
  • Butter for sauce richness
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  2. Cook chicken in heated olive oil for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
