Instructions
Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 200°F. Set wire rack on rimmed baking sheet and place sheet in oven.
To Make the Sauce:
Heat 1 tablespoon butter in medium nonreactive saucepan over medium heat. When foaming subsides, add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes.
1 very small onion
Add flour and stir until light golden brown, about 1 minute. Whisk in wine, lemon juice, and broth; increase heat to high and bring to boil, whisking constantly. Lower heat to medium-high and cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture is reduced to 1 ½ cups, 10 to 15 minutes.
1 tablespoon all purpose flour, ½ cup dry white wine or vermouth, ⅓ cup lemon juice from 2 lemons, 2 ¼ cups low sodium chicken broth
Strain sauce through mesh strainer, return to saucepan, and set aside.
To Make the Chicken:
Set second wire rack on second rimmed baking sheet on counter. Whisk together flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in pie plate.
1 cup all purpose flour
In second pie plate, whisk eggs and milk until combined. Season both sides of each cutlet with salt and pepper. Using tongs and working with 2 cutlets at a time, coat cutlets in seasoned flour; shake off excess flour.
2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons milk
Transfer cutlets to egg mixture; coat evenly and let excess run off. Return cutlets to seasoned flour; coat evenly and shake off excess flour. Place coated cutlets on wire rack on counter.
Heat 1 tablespoon each butter and oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; when foaming subsides, place 4 cutlets in skillet. Cook until well browned, 1 ½ to 2 minutes. Carefully flip cutlets and continue to cook until lightly browned on second sides, 30 to 60 seconds.
Transfer chicken to wire rack in oven. Wipe out skillet with paper towels. Repeat, using remaining 1 tablespoon each butter and oil to cook remaining cutlets in now-empty skillet. After transferring chicken to oven, wipe out skillet with paper towels.
To Finish the Sauce:
Transfer the sauce to now-empty skillet and set over low heat; cook until the sauce is heated through, about 1 minute. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter; add salt and pepper to taste.
To Serve:
Remove baking sheet with chicken from the oven; transfer 4 cutlets to the skillet, turn to coat with sauce, then transfer each serving (2 cutlets) to individual plates. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
Spoon 2 tablespoons additional sauce over each serving and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately, passing extra sauce separately.
2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
