Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts
salt and pepper
4 tbsp butter
vegetable oil
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup plain
lemon slices and fresh parsley

Steps

Pound the chicken breasts to about one-quarter-inch thickness, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
Set out separate shallow dishes of flour, beaten eggs, and plain crumbs.
Coat each chicken piece in flour, egg, and crumbs, pressing gently so the coating sticks.
Heat the butter and enough vegetable oil to cover a large skillet bottom over medium heat.
Fry the chicken in batches for four to five minutes per side, until golden and 165 F inside.
Drain briefly, then serve with lemon slices and fresh parsley.
