Lemon chicken paillards
4 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | pounds | Chicken breast, no skin, no bone, R-T-C, halved |
| Salt, to taste | ||
| ½ | teaspoon | Pepper, freshly ground |
| 2 | teaspoons | Betty's Butter, (see below) |
| ¼ | cup | Dry white wine, or chicken broth |
| 1 | Garlic clove, minced | |
| 2 | tablespoons | Fresh lemon juice |
| 4 | slices | Lemon |
| 2 | tablespoons | Fresh parsley, chopped |
Directions
Place chicken on cutting board between two sheets of waxed paper and pound to
¼ inch thickness. Season each side of chicken with salt and pepper. In a large non-stick skillet, heat half of Betty's Butter. Cook chicken over medium-high heat 3 minutes on each side OR UNTIL COOKED THROUGH. Remove to a serving dish and keep warm. Add wine or chicken broth to skillet and cook 2 minutes over high heat. Reduce heat, and stir in remaining butter, garlic and lemon juice. Spoon juice over chicken; top each chicken piece with a lemon slice and parsley.
NOTES : When I input this recipe to MasterCook (v 4), the only ingredient entry for boneless, skinless chicken breast has "R-T-C" in the name. I'm assuming that R-T-C means ready to cook, but can't imagine why that's included. We buy boneless skinless chicken breasts, and trim off any remaining fat before cooking. I usually find that it takes well over 3 minutes of cooking chicken on each side. Also, my large non-stick skillet only holds 2 flattened chicken breast halves at one time, so I cook the pieces in batches and keep them warm on a platter in the oven until they are all cooked.
