In my search for a delicious, yet light, chicken dish, I came across this one. The chicken was moist and tender and very tasty. Made with much less butter and egg whites only. Tasted better than I thought it would. With it, I was going to make broccoli and orzo, but I had to improvise since I thought I had orzo in my pantry, but didn't. So, I whipped up some yellow rice and beans ... and made broccoli and garlic in the oven. It was a delicious, well-balanced, and very light dinner!
Ingredients Needed: (8 servings)
- 8 thinly-cut chicken cutlets
- 1/4 cup (approximate) unbleached flour
- 1/2 cup egg whites, beaten (I used 4 jumbo eggs)
- juice of one large lemon
- 1/2 lemon, sliced thin
- 2/3 cups white wine
- 28 oz low-sodium chicken broth
- cooking spray
- salt and fresh pepper, to taste
- fresh or dried parsley, to taste
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Place the flour in one bowl and the beaten egg whites in another.
- Heat a very large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, spray bottom of pan with cooking spray.
- Lightly flour the chicken, then dip in the egg whites. Add to the hot pan a few at a time.
- Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side. When cooked, transfer chicken onto a plate. Spray the pan again and repeat until all the chicken has been cooked.
- Place chicken broth in a bowl with 2 tbsp flour and whisk.
- Add to the pan, along with the juice of a lemon, white wine, lemon slices, parsley and butter.
- Simmer over medium heat, about 4-5 minutes, until it reduces slightly and thickens.
- Return chicken to pan and simmer, on very low heat, for about 10 minutes. Serve hot.
