Ingredients
* 2 chicken breasts (about 300-400g total)
* Salt and black pepper, to taste
* 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
* 1 tbsp olive oil
* 1 tbsp butter
* ½ cup water (or white wine / chicken broth)
* Juice of half a lemon
* Fresh parsley or lemon zest, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make thin cutlets. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Coat each cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess.
3. Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
4. Pour water into the hot pan. Scrape the bottom to loosen the browned bits. Let it reduce for 1-2 minutes.
5. Turn off the heat. Stir in the lemon juice.
6. Return chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce. Garnish and serve.
