Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 medium Lemon, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Begin by placing the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them gently with a meat mallet to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with water until well combined.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess, and then dip them in the egg mixture to coat completely. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, lemon juice, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, simmering them in the sauce for about 2-3 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with the sauce.

Step 9

Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and pour the lemon butter sauce over the top.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving.
