How to cook lemon chicken breast

1. Let's start by cleaning the chicken. If you already have the slices, you won't have to do anything, but if you have purchased 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 nice hot non-stick pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Turn them over after about 3 minutes and make sure they have taken on a golden and crunchy appearance.

3. When the chicken is ready, remove it and leave it aside. In the same pan, pour the wine, water, the juice of a lemon, a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of sifted flour to thicken the sauce.

4. Allow to 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 scallops with lemon accompanying them with the sauce and vegetables you like best. Enjoy your meal!
