  1. Slice the chicken breast lengthwise into thinner cutlets. Pound the chicken until tender and evenly thin.

  2. Finely chop the parsley. Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add grated Parmesan and chopped parsley to the eggs. Mix until well combined.

  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. Coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture. Then dip the chicken into the egg-Parmesan mixture.

  4. Melt 4 tbsp butter in a pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown on both sides.

  5. In the same pan, add chicken broth. Add lime juice. Add remaining 1 tbsp butter. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes (or longer for more tenderness).

  6. Serve hot with mashed potatoes (mashed into puree with splash milk). ENJOY!

Cook’s note

Cook the chicken covered until it reaches the desired tenderness.

Serve with mashed potatoes (the sauce is thin).

For a flavor boost, you can add 1 grated garlic clove to the sauce.
