But, read the notes at the end of this posting for some changes…

Start off by beating some chicken breasts flat, then drag them through some flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs. The making of the chicken really isn’t amazingly difficult.

After the chicken is all covered, put a bit of oil in a pan, and just fry each piece of chicken quickly on each side (about 2 minutes) to lock that breading onto the chicken. After this, the chicken goes into the oven to finish cooking.

While the chicken is in the oven, start making the sauce. It’s a pretty basic sauce with wine, lemon juice and some spices.

You let the sauce simmer for a little while and get a little thicker while your chicken is doing its thing in the oven.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We plated the chicken with a bit of the sauce, and garnished with some Cilantro. We figured that with the light, lemony feel of the sauce, the cilantro would compliment it rather well.

• HOLY CRAP Lemony. Yeah. This was crazy lemony. I don’t know what the deal is, but next time, we’ll be cutting the amount of lemon juice in half at least. I don’t think an actual lemon is as lemony as this chicken was.
• Pairs well with a slightly sweet white wine for contrast.
