Preparation

Step 1

On a clean cutting board, using a smooth-surfaced meat mallet or rolling pin, pound chicken breasts to an even 3/4 inch thickness.** Combine salt with pepper and sprinkle evenly over chicken. Preheat a 12-inch skillet to medium high and pour in oil.

Carefully place chicken breasts in the skillet and cook each side for 3 minutes (turning once) until golden brown. Remove chicken breasts from pan and set aside covered with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Drain excess oil from the pan, retaining any remaining chicken juices. In the same pan, pour in chicken broth and white wine. Cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes to reduce. Remove from heat, whisk in lemon juice, sage, parsley, and cold butter until melted and serve immediately over chicken breasts.

**Key: While pounding the chicken, to keep it intact, place it between two sheets of plastic film or parchment paper.
