  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1 sliced lemon

  • Rinse and pat chicken breasts dry. If they are too thick, slice in half or pound thin with a meat mallet. Should be 3/4" thick or less.
  • Spread out flour on a paper plate and coat both sides of chicken breast with the flour. Doesn't need to be a lot, just enough to coat them.

  • Place chicken breasts in pan and add lemon about 4 lemon slices. You can also squeeze the juice from 1 slice of lemon on the chicken. Add salt and pepper.
  • Cook for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Flip chicken over, add white wine, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until 2nd side is golden brown and internal temperature of 165 degrees F with an instant read thermometer.
  • Let chicken rest 5 minutes before serving.
