This is a wonderful lower-fat restaurant-quality dish that is easy to make, I also like to add in a few tablespoons of capers and cook with the lemon glaze if you are a lover of capers then add them in as it really adds to the flavour of this dish --- this lemon sauce is not a heavy creamy sauce which is what makes this dish lower in fat, it is more like a glaze that soaks into the chicken, and I would strongly suggest to double or even triple the glaze I most always do, and please be certain to use only dry breadcrumbs as fresh will not stick to the chicken as well.

Directions

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • 1 Egg, may need 2

Step 1

In a small bowl or shallow dish whisk together mustard and eggs; set aside.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Dry Breadcrumbs, i use italian style
  • 14 teaspoon Poultry Seasoning

Step 2

Combine the dry bread crumbs with poultry seasoning, garlic powder and seasoning salt; spread on a piece of waxed paper.

Ingredients

  • 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, pounded to about 1/3-inch thickness

Step 3

Dip the breasts firstly in egg/mustard mixture (shake off any excess egg) then coat well with the crumb mixture, pressing downs with hands to adhere the crumbs to the breast.

Ingredients

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
 

Step 5

Add in the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until it is no longer pink inside; remove and transfer to a plate to keep warm.

  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice

In the same skillet add in the broth, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste, if using capers add in now) bring to a boil scraping any brown bits from the pan.
