This flavorful dish, made with chicken breasts, is light in fat and calories; use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 eggs
1 cup Italian-seasoned dry bread crumbs
6 chicken breast halves, boneless, skin removed

1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Preparation:

Pound chicken breasts between sheets of waxed paper or within a food storage bag until thinned and evenly flattened. In a shallow dish, whisk together the mustard and eggs.

Pour excess fat from skillet; add chicken broth, lemon juice, capers and salt. Bring to a boil, scraping browned bits from the bottom of skillet. Stir in chopped parsley. Spoon sauce over chicken, and serve immediately.
