2 chicken breasts large boneless, skinless (about 1 lb. total)
2 eggs beaten
1 1/2 cups round buttery crackers crumbs
Dash salt
Dash black pepper
3 to 4 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Preheat oven to 200°.
Place one chicken breast half at a time between two pieces of waxed paper. With a rolling pin, flatten to 1/4 -inch thickness. Cut each chicken breast in half.
Dip both sides of chicken in eggs, then in cracker crumbs; dip a second time. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; place on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes to let the coating dry slightly.
In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, brown two pieces chicken at a time in 2 tablespoons of the butter for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until no longer pink in center. Transfer to an ovenproof platter in oven. Cook remaining chicken in remaining butter; transfer to platter in oven.
To skillet, add water and lemon juice. Cook and stir over medium heat to loosen particles from bottom of skillet. Pour over chicken and serve.
