Lemon Sage Chicken

A fancied up fried chicken recipe with tons of bright lemony flavor and delicious sage to top it off.

Sage is one of my favorite spices, but I don't use it enough and I don't know why! I absolutely could not wait to try this recipe out because it also has lemon with that sage. I was interested in the fried sage leaves, not sure how that would turn out, but it was fantastic! The breaded chicken with lemon wedges and fried sage leaves with a little sauce to top it off...was all so wonderful.

What you need:

• 1 1/4 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thinly sliced chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 3 Tbsp. olive oil
• All purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges
• 4 sprigs sage
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 3/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 to 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter.

Directions:

1. Slice breast in half horizontally, then pound with a meat mallet to make thin. If you purchased thinly sliced chicken, skip to step two
2. Season each piece of chicken with salt and pepper.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Add flour to a plate and season with salt. In a bowl, mix together eggs and lemon juice.
5. Dredge chicken in flour, then egg mixture.
