A Sprinkle of This and That: Memory Lane Monday: Chicken Limone

It's Monday and time to take a walk down Memory Lane.

Chicken Limone is a favorite in our house. Thin pieces of chicken in a wonderful lemon butter sauce is perfect for company as well as a dinner on your meal rotation. It's easy, but looks fancy!

Each thin piece of chicken is full of that lemon flavor and is served over a bed of pasta.

Chicken Limone is so worth re-sharing.

As we move away from the heavy comfort foods of winter, Chicken Limone is a light dish for Spring and Summer.

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup flour
4 Tbsp butter, divided
olive oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tsp cornstarch
8 lemon slices
Directions:

Cut each chicken breast in half length wise to make them thinner. Place chicken between waxed paper and flatten with a meat mallet. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge chicken in four.

Melt 2 Tbsp butter and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Cook the chicken in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked chicken to a platter and keep warm.

Add broth, lemon juice and cornstarch to skillet. Cook 1-2 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened, stirring to loosen particles at the bottom of the skillet. Add the 8 lemon slices.

Remove skillet from heat. Add the remaining 2 Tbsp butter and stir until butter melts. Pour sauce over chicken and serve with pasta.
