- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
How to make Pollo alla Mugnaia (Milliner's Style Lemon Butter Chicken)
- Slice the 1.5 lbs chicken breasts horizontally to create 8 thinner cutlets, about 1/2-inch thick. Pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp crust.
- In a shallow dish, combine the 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add half of the floured chicken cutlets, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the cooked chicken to a plate and loosely tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add 4 tbsp unsalted butter to the same skillet, allowing it to melt and brown slightly, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Pour in 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice and 1/2 cup chicken broth, stirring well to combine the sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Return the cooked chicken cutlets to the skillet and spoon the lemon butter sauce over them. Allow the chicken to warm through for 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish generously with 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately with your favorite pasta or a simple green salad.
