Instructions
- Mix the sherry and lemon juice in a large bowl. Submerge the chicken breasts in the mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge to marinate for 1 to 2 hours.,Simply Recipes / Hannah Zimmerman
- Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and pat them dry with a paper towel. Discard the marinade. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to 1/2-inch thickness.,Simply Recipes / Hannah Zimmerman
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, onion powder, and white pepper. Pour the breadcrumbs into a separate shallow bowl.,Dip a chicken breast in the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, then coat in the breadcrumbs. Place on a clean plate or baking tray and repeat with the remaining chicken.,Simply Recipes / Hannah Zimmerman
- Melt half of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it begins to bubble and foam, add the chicken breasts. Cook the chicken until golden brown on the bottom, about 5 to 6 minutes, adjusting the heat down to medium if the chicken is browning too quickly.,Add the rest of the butter to the skillet and flip the chicken breasts. Cook until golden brown on both sides and the chicken registers 165°F in the thickest part, about 5 more minutes. Baste with the butter occasionally for the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking, spooning the butter over the top of the chicken.,If all of the chicken won’t fit in your pan, cook them in two batches.,Simply Recipes / Hannah Zimmerman
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and garnish with lemon slices and chopped parsley.,Leftover petti di pollo can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you are ready to eat it, place it on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven at 350°F for 6 to 8 minutes, until warmed through.,Love the recipe?
