Lemon Chicken (or Chicken Piccata)

We love this dish! My husband says it is "restaurant worthy" 

• Ingredients: 
• 4  boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 8 tenders)
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1/2  teaspoon pepper
• 1/3  c. flour
• 4  Tablespoons butter
• 2  Tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4  c. chicken broth
• 4-6 lemons (depends on size)
• 1/4  c. fresh squeezed lemon juice 
• 1/4  c. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• Garnish with lemon slices and extra parsley leaves

Preparation:

1. If using Breasts cut in half and pound down to approximately 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess.

2. Melt 1 Tbsp. butter with 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook half of chicken in skillet 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and done. Transfer chicken to a serving platter, and keep warm. Repeat procedure with 1 Tbsp. butter and remaining olive oil and chicken. (If you have a big enough skillet you can cook all the chicken at once) 

3. Add broth and lemon juice to skillet, and cook 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened, stirring to loosen particles from bottom of skillet. Add 8 lemon slices.

4. Remove skillet from heat; add parsley and remaining 2 Tbsp. butter, and stir until butter melts. Pour sauce over chicken. Serve immediately. Garnish with lemon slices and extra parsley. Tastes great with Oven rice and veggies
