Husband & Wife Super-Easy Sauteed Chicken

Submitted by KissKiss

"This is a great recipe for the couple who has one big eater and one small eater. I can't eat a whole chicken breast, but my husband can. The typical 3-pack of chicken breasts sold in supermarkets works perfectly for two night's worth of dinner for two."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• sea salt & fresh black pepper
• 59.14 ml all-purpose flour
• 36.97 ml salted butter
• 14.79-29.58 ml fresh parsley, chopped
• lemon wedge

directions

1. Wash and pat dry the chicken breasts, then trim off fat.
2. Put them between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound out evenly to a ½ inch thickness with a mallet.
3. Season generously with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper (both sides).
4. Dust lightly with flour (both sides) and shake off excess just before adding to pan.
5. Melt 2 ½ tablespoons butter in large saute pan over med-high heat.
6. Add chicken breasts and cook for about 3 minutes on each side. (You’ll know when it’s done when breasts are browned sufficiently on both sides.) Remove and allow to rest for a few minutes.
7. Sprinkle with parsley, squirt with lemon wedges, and serve.
