Ingredients
8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 4 ounces each)
1/2 cup egg substitute
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth, divided
5 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
Flatten the chicken breasts to about 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
Prepare the Coating
In a shallow dish, combine the egg substitute, 2 tablespoons wine, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, minced garlic, and hot pepper sauce.
Prepare the Flour Mixture
In another shallow dish, mix the flour, grated Parmesan cheese, parsley, and salt.
Coat the Chicken
Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, dip into the egg mixture, then coat again with the flour mixture.
Cook the Chicken
Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Cook 4 chicken breasts for 3–5 minutes per side or until the juices run clear.
Remove from the pan and keep warm. Drain any drippings.
Cook Remaining Chicken
Repeat with the remaining chicken and oil. Remove and keep warm.
Make the Lemon Sauce
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the remaining 1/4 cup wine and 3 tablespoons lemon juice.
Reduce the Sauce
Bring the mixture to a boil and cook uncovered until the sauce reduces by about one-fourth.
Serve
Drizzle the lemon sauce over the cooked chicken and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Notes
Flattening the chicken ensures even cooking and tender texture.
Chicken broth can replace white wine if you prefer an alcohol-free version.
Serve with pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables to soak up the lemon sauce.
