Lemon Chicken

Ingredients

One 1/4 lb. chicken breast (skinless, boneless)
2 teaspoons butter
juice from 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon parsley, chopped

Instructions

Place chicken between two sheets of wax paper & pound evenly to a 1/4" thickness. Melt butter in a pan over medium heat until bubbly. Add the chicken and sauté two minutes per side. Remove the cooked chicken to a warm plate, and "de-glaze" pan with lemon juice. Add parsley, stir quickly and pour over chicken as sauce.

Comments

A single 4 oz. chicken breast (1/4 lb.) is about right for this recipe. Roll the lemon on the countertop to get more juice out of it. Time for this meal: 6 minutes!

Shopping tip: Buy a single chicken breast already skinned for fast and cost-effective preparation. (Are you really going to de-bone a whole chicken and save the bones for chicken stock?)
