Directions:Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of parchment
paper or plastic wrap and pound out to 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle
both sides with salt and pepper.
Mix the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in
a shallow plate. In a second plate, beat the egg and 1/2
tablespoon of water together. Place the bread crumbs on a
third plate. Dip each chicken breast first in the flour, shake off
the excess, and then dip in the egg and bread crumb
mixtures.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saute pan over
medium to medium-low heat. Add the chicken breasts and
cook for 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Place them on
the sheet pan and allow them to bake for 5 to 10 minutes while
you make the sauce.
For the sauce, wipe out the saute pan with a dry paper towel.
Over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and then
add the lemon juice, wine, the reserved lemon halves, 1/2
teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Boil over high heat
until reduced in half, about 2 minutes. Off the heat, add the
remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and swirl to combine.
Discard the lemon halves and serve 1 chicken breast on
each plate. Spoon on the sauce and serve with a slice of
lemon and a sprinkling of fresh parsley.

Notes: This is a recipe from Ina Garten on Food TV.
I have tried it out several times and it seems to be a hit. I
have modified her recipe to use Panko bread crumbs and
season them myself with cheese and spices. If you want to
use the canned seasoned bread crumbs - fine, but it won't be
as good!
Also, I double the sauce recipe to ensure there is enough. Be
careful though, as this sauce is intense in flavor and only a
small amount is meant to be drizzled over the top of the
chicken.
Serve this dish with a side of roasted fennel and a light pasta.
You can also use this sauce to coat your pasta and sprinkle
with cheese to your preference.
