Lemon Chicken Recipe with Butter Sauce

2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:

Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise and pound them gently with a meat mallet to ensure even thickness.

Make the Egg Mixture:

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and ground black pepper.

Make the Parmesan Breading:

In another bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and all-purpose flour.

Coat the Chicken:

Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the Parmesan breading mixture. Shake off any excess.

Cook the Chicken:

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until crispy, golden brown, and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F. Reduce the heat if the chicken browns too quickly.

Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce:

In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and ground black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes.

Combine and Serve:

Pour the lemon butter sauce over the cooked chicken, turning the chicken to coat it evenly.

Garnish with lemon slices and chopped parsley if desired.
