INGREDIENTS:
2 (8 oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided

1/2 cup fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)

  1. Split chix beast halves in half horizontally to form 4 cutlets. Place each cutlet between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound each cutlet to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Sprinkle cutlets evenly with salt and pepper

  2. Place flour in a shallow dish; dredge cutlets in flour.
