How to cook lemon chicken breast

1. Let’s start with cleaning the chicken. If you already have the slices, you will not have to do anything, but if you have bought a whole breast, divide it in half and remove all the fatty parts.
2. Once done, let’s see how to cook the chicken breast in a pan: flour all the escalopes well and brown them in a hot non-stick pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Turn them after about 3 minutes and make sure they have taken on a golden and crunchy aspect.
3. When the chicken is ready, remove it and set it aside. In the same pan pour the wine, water, lemon juice, a pinch of sugar and a teaspoon of sifted flour to thicken the sauce.
4. Let it reduce, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has taken on a thick consistency. At that point, add the chicken and cook for just two minutes .
5. Serve the lemon escalopes accompanying them with the sauce and the vegetables you like best. Enjoy your meal!
