Ingredients:

Serving

3 whole chicken breasts (split, skinned , boned, fat removed)
onion powder , to taste
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper , to taste
3 lemons, divided
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 large garlic cloves, sliced
2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1 dash hot sauce (optional)
1 tbsp butter
vegetable oil
2 egg whites , lighly beaten
2 tsp lemon zest
breadcrumbs
2 sprigs fresh sage
2 tbsp capers, rinsed and drained
flat-leaf italian parsley, chopped (garnish )

Directions:

Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
Use a meat mallet to flatten the chicken between 2 sheets of waxed paper.
Season the chicken with the onion powder, salt, and pepper; lay them in a deep bowl.
To the chicken add the juice of one (1) lemon, wine, garlic, basil, and hot sauce (optional); marinate in the refrigerator for at least two (2) hours.
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet heat the butter and about 3/4-inch oil over a medium flame. (DO NOT USE OLIVE OIL).
Mix together the lemon zest and breadcrumbs on a rimmed flat dish. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade; dip in the egg whites one-at-a-time and press both sides in the breadcrumb mixture.
Once the oil is hot, but not smoking, (COOK'S TIP: Flip breadcrumbs in oil; if oil boils violently, it is ready.), add the sage to the skillet and place each chicken breast, one-at-a-time, gently into the oil.
Cook for one (1) minute on each side - DO NOT OVERCOOK. Transfer chicken to paper towels and blot off excess oil.
Serve immediately on warmed dinner plates; give each breast a squeeze of lemon juice. Garnish with thinly-sliced lemon rounds; sprinkle capers and parsley over top.
