1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Preparation Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture.
Place a large skillet over medium high heat and add the oil. Once the oil is warm, add the chicken, cooking for about 3 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in the middle. Remove with tongs to a platter.
Pour the chicken stock into the skillet. Add the lemon juice. Scrape the bottom of the pan to get up any browned bits and simmer for about 3 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced. Add parsley.
Serve the chicken breasts with the sauce poured over them.
