Ingredients (12)

  • 1 cup reduced-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoon white wine or dry vermouth
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 (4- to 5-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoon dry breadcrumbs

Directions

  1. Whisk broth, lemon juice, wine, flour, herbes de Provence, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
  2. Lightly coat chicken with breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
