Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/4-1/2 inch thickness
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 eggs, beaten to blend
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • Juice from two large lemons (about 1/4 cup)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
