It’s then browned off and served in a lemon and butter sauce. The taste is often tart because of the amount of lemon used in this recipe. It’s often served with capers, but Trisha Yearwood’s recipe does not contain any.

Ingredients

The ingredients you’ll need for this recipe are:

  • 1 boneless and skinless chicken breast (in two pieces)
  • sea salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • 70g of plain flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tablespoon of water
  • 75g of dry bread crumbs (preferably seasoned)
  • olive oil
  • 35g of room temp unsalted pepper
  • 80ml of lemon juice (keep the lemon halves)
  • 125ml of dry white wine
  • sliced lemon (for garnish)
  • chopped parsley leaves (for serving)
 

Recipe

Now all you need to do is:

Step 1: Prepare

Gather all of the ingredients you need for this recipe and preheat your oven to 200C. Grab a baking sheet and line with parchment paper.

Step 2: Coat the chicken

Using film wrap or parchment paper, wrap your chicken breasts (or put them between two sheets of parchment). Pound the chicken until it’s around half a cm thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper, to taste. Grab three bowls. In the first, add the flour, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. In the second bowl, add the egg with 1/2 tablespoon of water and beat well. On the third plate, add the breadcrumbs. Now take turns between dipping each breast into the flour, then the egg, then the bread crumb; ensuring you shake between each dip to remove any excess. Repeat this process, if necessary.

Step 3: Cook the chicken

Add around one tablespoon of oil into a pan and heat over a medium heat. Once hot, add the breasts, and brown on each side (this should take around 2 minutes on each side). Now place the breasts onto your prepared sheet and place them into the oven for around 5-10 minutes to finish cooking.

Step 4: Make the sauce

Drain the pan you used for the chicken and add one tablespoon of the butter, along with the wine, lemon halves, lemon juice, and salt and pepper (to taste). Bring to a boil over a high heat for around 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add the remaining butter.

Mix well to ensure it’s well combined. Place the lemon halves onto the plates. Remove chicken from the oven and serve by drizzling the sauce over the top. Add some chopped fresh parsley over the chicken to garnish. Serve and enjoy!
