  • 1 egg
  • 6 tablespoons lemon juice

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • In a frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Place the coated chicken breasts into the pan and brown them on both sides.
  • While the chicken is cooking, dissolve the chicken bouillon cubes in boiling water along with the remaining lemon juice.
