Steps:
- In a shallow bowl, combine the flour and parmesan cheese. Season the chicken with salt and pepper; dredge in the flour mixture; shake off excess and set aside.
- In a large pan or skillet heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. When hot, fry 2 pieces of chicken first until golden on each side and cooked through (about 3-4 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of your chicken). Transfer to a warm plate.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and pound out to 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
- Mix the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a shallow plate. In a second plate, beat the egg and 1/2 tablespoon of water together. Place the bread crumbs on a third plate. Dip each chicken breast first in the flour, shake off the excess, and then dip in the egg and bread crumb mixtures.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium to medium-low heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Place them on the sheet pan and allow them to bake for 5 to 10 minutes while you make the sauce.
- For the sauce, wipe out the saute pan with a dry paper towel. Over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and then add the lemon juice, wine, the reserved lemon halves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Boil over high heat until reduced in half, about 2 minutes. Off the heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and swirl to combine. Discard the lemon halves and serve 1 chicken breast on each plate. Spoon on the sauce and serve with a slice of lemon and a sprinkling of fresh parsley.

Steps:
- Place tomatoes and lemon slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle on olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Roast until tomato skins split a little and lemon slices are lightly browned, about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of the tomatoes. Set aside.
- Cut each breast in half horizontally to make thinner. One at a time, add pieces inside a heavy sealable bag and pound to make them 1/2 inch thick.
- Combine flour, cheese and pour onto a plate. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken pieces in the flour mixture and shake off excess.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high, add the olive oil. When shimmering, add the capers and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until they open up a bit and brown a little. Remove the capers with a slotted spoon and and let drain on a paper towel.
- In the remaining oil, add chicken in a single layer but don't crowd the pan, cook in batches if necessary. Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and brown the other side, about 3 minutes, until fully cooked. Remove and transfer to plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the rest of the chicken, adding little more oil, if needed.
- Once all the chicken is cooked, reduce heat to medium and add garlic. Cook for 30 seconds then add the lemon juice, stock, honey, and wine. Bring to simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the pan. Cook until reduced by half, about 4-5 minutes. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the butter until melted. The sauce should be slightly thick and glossy. Slide the chicken back into the pan and coat with the sauce. Sprinkle over the parsley and capers, and serve immediately with the roasted tomatoes and lemons on the side.

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN PICCATA
Steps:
- Flatten the chicken breasts with a meat mallet until approximately 1/4 inch thick. Put the flour in a bowl or container and add the seasoned salt, garlic powder, paprika and black pepper and mix to combine.
- Heat the canola oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Take a sprinkle of flour and put it in the fryer to test the oil. If it sizzles the oil is hot enough. Working in batches, dip the chicken in the flour mixture, coating both sides, and cook until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and reserve.
- Pour out the excess oil, leaving enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to low. Add 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture used for dredging, the butter and garlic and mix together well until the butter is melted. Add the cooking wine and allow to simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until reduced by half, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add the cream and simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened and reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Squeeze the juice of 1 1/2 of the lemons into the cream mixture, stirring constantly. Add the cheese and sugar, reduce the heat to very low, and cook until the cheese melts and the mixture begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Thinly slice the remaining 1 1/2 lemons into rounds and add them to the cream mixture. Stir in the capers and half the parsley.
- Bring a large pot of water and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil. Let boil 7 minutes, then add the pasta and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stir to prevent sticking and cook until al dente, about 7 minutes. Check the pasta in 5 minutes! Drain the pasta, add more oil to prevent sticking and divide among 4 plates. Top with the chicken and sauce, sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH TOMATOES AND CAPERS
This recipe was originally developed by Pierre Franey in 1991 for the 60-Minute Gourmet column, a weekly feature dedicated to Times-worthy dishes that were easy, quick and inexpensive. This recipe fit the bill perfectly, and it still does. Just sauté the chicken breasts until they are lightly browned. Then add shallots and garlic, tarragon, tomatoes, vinegar, capers, white wine and tomato paste. Stir well and cook for about 9 minutes more. That's it.

- Using a very sharp knife, slice each chicken breast in half horizontally. One at a time, place the chicken breasts in a large sealable plastic bag and, using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound them to an even 1/4-inch thickness. (If your chicken breasts are very small, you can skip the step of cutting them in half horizontally. I use two 3/4-lb breasts to make 4 portions.) Save the bag.
- To the bag, add the flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; seal and shake to combine. Add the chicken to the bag; seal and shake to coat the chicken evenly. Beat the eggs in a large, shallow bowl. In another large, shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Using tongs (or your hands), dip each chicken breast first in the egg mixture, turning to coat evenly and letting any excess egg drip off, and then into the bread crumbs, turning to coat evenly.
- Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the chicken to the pan and cook for until the first side is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook until the second side is golden, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven while you make the sauce. (Note: the chicken should be almost fully cooked at this point. Don't leave it in the oven for more than 5 minutes or it will overcook.)
