Zesty Lemon Chicken Scallopine – A Bright and Flavorful Classic

In a shallow dish, mix the flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each chicken fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Step 2: Sear the Chicken
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken fillets and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Lemon Sauce
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly reduced.
Step 4: Combine and Serve
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fillets.
Simmer for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
