1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. black pepper

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Step

Butterfly

Place chicken breast on cutting board. Place hand flat on top of breast. Use sharp knife to slice into one side of breast, starting at thicker end and ending at thin point. Be careful not to cut all the way through to other side. Open breast so it looks like a butterfly. Cover breast with plastic wrap and pound with meat pounder or rolling pin to create even thickness. Slice in half lengthwise to create two equal pieces of chicken breast. Repeat with second breast.

Sauté

Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Sauté chicken breasts 2 to 3 minutes per side, until chicken is browned. Transfer chicken to plate. You may have to cook chicken in batches to avoid crowding pan.

Used this recipe and everything came out great and better than I expected! Any more lemon would have been too much though so just use one.

I wish I could buy your chicken brand in my area (95258). I would even drive more than 25 miles to get it and make your Chicken Picatta. Will you ever come out to our area? Please let me know. Inge Beckham

This dish looks absolutely delicious - especially because right now I'm very hungry. I wish I could find your brand (PERDUE) chicken where I live (in Lodi CA). Can I place a mail order for your products? Please let me know. Thank you.
