Chicken Limone Recipe

chicken

salt (for brining)

all purpose plain flour

olive oil

salted butter (divided (56 grams))

water

lemon juice

lemon zest

salt (extra

black pepper

lemon slices and chopped fresh parsley (for serving)

Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise and pound lightly between sheets of plastic to create even thin cutlets.

For extra tender chicken, brine for 15 minutes in salt water (fill a large bowl with barely warm water add 2 or 3 large tablespoons salt and stir to dissolve). Remove, rinse with cold water, dry with paper towels, and then continue with the recipe.

Season flour with salt. Dredge the chicken cutlets in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Heat the oil with half of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

When hot add the flour dredged chicken breasts in batches (if necessary) and one layer and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. Season with a little salt and pepper when you turn the chicken cutlets. When cooked, remove to a plate.

Reduce the heat a little and add the remaining butter, lemon juice, lemon zest and water to the pan.

Bring to a simmer, stirring well, scraping up the pan crusty bits.

Return chicken to the pan, turning to coat. Cook for two or three minutes until heat through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Serve with extra lemon slices and finely chopped parsley.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner. Seriously good. Brining is key. A great break from the red sauce.

This was a very tasty dinner.  I did substitute chicken broth for water, added a little cream and Parmesan cheese.  Tasty!

I have made your recipe and was told it was restaurant worthy. It was most definitely scrumptious! Wondering if any part of it could be made day before when having a big crowd. Thank you!

I doubled the lemon juice/water/butter sauce to pour over chicken and pasta and made a mixture of half Panko &amp; half flour to dredge the chicken. Family loved this recipe! Thanks.

Great recipe. Dinner in no time. I added capers and served it with angel hair. Delicious.

This was SO GOOD. I probably added extra lemon cause I like it lemony and I just loved it all so much. The sauce was to die for!!!!  I was slurping it up off of a spoon! This will definitely be something I make again!

Excellent! I was craving something tart for dinner and this hit the spot. Quick brining the chicken was a genius idea - I’ll be doing the same to improve a dry chicken piccata recipe. Thank you so much for making tonight’s dinner amazing!

Wonderful.  I needed to add a little more chicken broth for the sauce.  But it was excellent!
