Tips & Secrets
- Pounding the chicken to a uniform thickness is the secret to ensuring it cooks perfectly in just a few minutes.
- Dredging in flour provides a beautiful golden crust and helps to thicken the lemon-butter sauce.
- Always use fresh lemon juice; the bottled extract lacks the brightness and acidity needed for this dish.
- Do not overcook the sauce after adding the butter; it should remain glossy and emulsified.
