Prep the chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, then dip in beaten egg.
Pan-fry: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp butter with olive oil. Cook chicken until golden (about 3-4 mins per side). Remove and set aside.
Make the sauce: In the same skillet, add wine (or broth), lemon juice, and lemon slices. Simmer for 2–3 minutes. Stir in remaining butter and chicken broth.
Finish it up: Return chicken to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes, spooning sauce over the top.
Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and extra lemon slices if desired.
