Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
• 1 pinch garlic powder
• 1 pinch paprika
• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 6 slices lemon, for garnish
• 2 sprigs fresh parsley, for garnish
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 ½ medium lemons, juiced, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix together egg and 1/3 of the lemon juice in a shallow dish or bowl. Mix together flour, garlic powder, and paprika in another shallow dish or bowl.

Step 2

Dip chicken breasts in egg mixture, then flour mixture to coat.

Step 3

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Mix together broth and remaining lemon juice in a medium bowl; pour over chicken in the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 8 minutes.

Place chicken on a serving platter. Cover with lemon sauce and garnish with fresh lemon slices and parsley sprigs.
