CHICKEN FRANCESE WITH LEMON BUTTER

Category: Chicken

Chicken breast, Romano cheese, mushrooms, and Sbarro's signature
5 eggs
3 oz Romano cheese, grated
1 tsp parsley flakes
1 cup flour
1 1/3 cups vegetable oil
1 oz olive oil
Five 5-oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded 1/4 inch thick
1 cup chicken stock
8 oz butter, softened
Juice from 2 lemons
Salt and white pepper
Lemon slices, for garnish
Chopped parsley, for garnish

Beat the eggs and add the cheese and parsley flakes. Put the flour in a shallow bowl. Dip the chicken in the flour, then the egg mixture, then the flour again. Heat the vegetable oil and the olive oil in a skillet and fry the chicken until golden on both sides, turning once. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.

Discard the oil and add the chicken stock to the skillet. Bring to a boil and reduce by half, making sure to scrape up any browned bits left from the chicken. Add the lemon juice, then the butter, whisking constantly, until it is melted. Season with salt and white pepper.

Plate the chicken breasts and pour the sauce over. Garnish with the chopped parsley and lemon slices. Serves 5
