Italian Chicken Breast with butter lemon sauce

Italian Chicken Breast with butter lemon sauce -- A Pinch of Joy

Italian Chicken Breast is a Quick and Easy recipe that is delightfully delicious and so easy to make that it will become a regular on the menu.

Thaw the chicken breasts in the refrigerator overnight.  Yes, you can thaw them in the microwave, if you forget.  But it’s one less hassle if you think ahead and throw the bag of frozen chicken breast in the refrigerator overnight.  You can get right to cooking after work.  The package of chicken breasts I used were wildly varied in size.  Slice them in a way that will give you relatively uniform thickness.  I laid the breasts on the cutting board and made slices abut 3/4 inch thick.  Those will cook easily with about 5 minutes on each side.  Be sure the oil is hot before adding the meat, dredged in egg and crumbs.  This will make a quick and crispy crust on each piece.  When the chicken is done cooking, arrange it on the platter.  Make the lemon butter sauce right in the same pan.  Give things a stir with your wooden spoon to loosen little bits of goodness.  Add the lemon juice to pick up those bits and then add the butter.  Whisk together as the butter melts and stop when the sauce has just begin to appear thicker.  Pour the sauce over the chicken, garnish and serve immediately.  Scrumptious!

Totally worthy of a birthday celebration!  Happy Birthday, Bytes.
