Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Salmoriglio
  1. Butterfly the Chicken by cutting the breasts in half horizontally for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Marinade by whisking together lemon zest, garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken cutlets with marinade and let sit for 1 hour.
  3. Make the Salmoriglio Sauce by combining the remaining marinade with lemon juice and chopped parsley.
  4. Set Up the Breading Station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Bread the Chicken Cutlets by dredging in flour, dipping in eggs, and coating with breadcrumbs.
  6. Fry the Chicken in a skillet with butter and oil until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  7. Bake the Chicken on a parchment-lined tray at 400°F for 5-10 minutes until cooked through.
  8. Serve with Salmoriglio Sauce and fresh lemon wedges.
