Chicken Scales with Butter and Lemon Sauce

Ingredients: 

• 4 chicken boobs
• chicken broth
• 2 eggs
• white wine 
• butter 
• flour
• olive oil
• parsley
• lemon juice
• pepper 
• salt 
• lemon

Preparation: 

Place chicken breasts on adhesive film and cover also with film. Hit them with a kitchen hammer until they're about an inch thick. This step is important to ensure uniform making. Season with a little salt.

Mix the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper on a large tray or dish. In another container place the eggs beaten.

Pass the chicken breasts first through the flour and then through the eggs, always on both sides and fry them in the olive oil for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.

After that time, and already golden, remove them for a plate and keep them warm.

In the same skillet cook the lemon slices for about a minute, only until they start to gain color. Remove and reserve. 

Prepare the butter and lemon sauce

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. When melting, add the flour and stir continuously for about a minute.

Add the white wine and chicken broth, stirring always to avoid clumps. Let it boil for 4 minutes.

When the sauce is slightly thicker, turn off the light. Add the lemon juice and adjust the salt and pepper to taste.

Put the scallops back in the frying pan. Distribute the lemon rings over and water with part of the sauce. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Serve these chicken scallops with butter and lemon sauce with white rice, mashed potatoes, simple pasta or even sautéed vegetables. And don't waste a single drop of the sauce.
