Chicken Piccata with Lemon Sauce

This is one of my husband's all time favorite meals.   I toss cooked angel hair pasta in the sauce and serve it with the chicken.

Chicken Piccata

Ingredients

• 8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
• 1/2 cup egg substitute
• 2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth -- divided (I used broth)
• 5 tablespoons lemon juice -- divided
• 3 garlic cloves -- minced
• 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley (I used dried)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 teaspoons olive oil -- divided
• 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

1. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. In a shallow dish, combine the egg substitute, 2 tablespoons wine or broth, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, garlic and hot pepper sauce.
2. In another shallow dish, combine the flour, Parmesan cheese, parsley and salt. Coat chicken with flour mixture, dip in egg substitute mixture, then coat again with flour mixture.
3. In a large nonstick skillet, brown four chicken breast halves in 1-1/2 teaspoons oil for 3-5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Remove and keep warm. Drain drippings. Repeat with remaining chicken and oil. Remove and keep warm.
4. In the same pan, melt butter. Add the remaining wine or broth and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Boil, uncovered, until sauce is reduced by a fourth. Drizzle over chicken. Yield: 8 servings.
