Lemon Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1/2 cup ground sunflower seed or walnuts
• 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved and pounded to 1/4 inch thick
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced

Directions

1. 1

   Mix the salt and pepper into the ground seeds or nuts. Dredge the chicken pieces in the mixture. Shake off the excess and set aside.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the chicken breasts until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and place on paper towels, turning once to absorb the excess oil.

3. 3

   Combine the wine and lemon juice and pour into the skillet. Bring to a boil and scrape down any bits of chicken stuck to the sides of the pan. Add the chicken pieces and simmer in the liquid for 5 minutes. Remove to a heated platter.

4. 4

   Raise the heat to high, bring the liquid to a boil, and reduce the liquid to ¼ cup. Whisk in the butter and pour over the chicken. Garnish with parsley and lemon slices.
