This dish is very good over any kind of pasta.
Serves: 6

1/4 cup PLUS 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 4 oz each), all 
visible fat discarded, flattened to 1/4-inch thickness
2 tsp olive oil
1 3/4 cups fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup dry white wine (regular or nonalcoholic)
1 Tbsp finely snipped fresh parsley
6 thin lemon slices (optional)

In a large resealable plastic bag or paper bag, combine the flour, pepper, 
and salt. Add several pieces of the chicken. Seal the bag. Shake to coat 
the chicken. Shake off the excess flour. Set the chicken on a plate. 
Repeat with the remaining chicken.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour the oil into 
the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom. Cook half the chicken for 2 to 
3 minutes, turning to brown on both sides. Transfer to a plate. Repeat 
with the remaining chicken.

Pour the broth, lemon juice, and wine into the skillet. Cook for 7 to 
8 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced by about one third, scraping 
to dislodge any browned bits from the skillet.

Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 to 
7 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly thickened, stirring 
occasionally. Using a slotted spoon or pancake turner, transfer the 
chicken to a platter.

Stir the parsley into the sauce. Pour over the chicken. Garnish with 
the lemon slices.
