How to Make Barbara Bush S Lemon Chicken

1. Pat 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) dry with paper towels. Rub each breast generously with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
2. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and sauté for 7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Remove chicken breasts from skillet and set aside in a baking dish.
4. Pour off any excess grease from the skillet. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional), 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
5. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a saucepan and simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly reduce.
6. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Sprinkle generously with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
7. Broil in a preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Serve immediately.
