  1. Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thin cutlets. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess.

  5. Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over, and cook for another 2 minutes. Add remaining butter and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken.
  6. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
  7. Serve hot, spooning the sauce over each piece of chicken.
