  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (divided)

  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

Directions 

Get Started

Step 1: 

Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally almost all the way through, then opening it like a book.

Step 2: 

Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound it until it's about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3: 

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and half of the parsley.

Cook the Chicken

Step 4: 

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5: 

Lightly coat the chicken breasts in flour, then dip them in the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides.

Step 6: 

Place the chicken breasts in the hot skillet and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7: 

Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and set them aside on a warm plate.

Make the Sauce

Step 8: 

Pour the white wine into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 9: 

Bring the wine to a simmer and cook for 1 minute, or until reduced by half.

Step 10: 

Add the chicken stock and minced garlic.

Step 11: 

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 12: 

Stir in the remaining parsley.

Finish & Serve

Step 13: 

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them.

Step 14: 

Cook for 1 minute, or until heated through.
