How to Make Classic Chicken Meunière

1. Prepare the Chicken Cutlets

Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour or cornmeal on a plate.

2. Fry the Chicken

Increase heat to high and add oil to the skillet. Once hot, add the coated chicken cutlets and fry for 3 to 5 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and cook for an additional 2 to 4 minutes until golden and crisp.

3. Prepare the Browned Butter (Optional)

In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat until it reaches a nutty brown color and emits a warm, toasty aroma.

4. Finish the Dish

Remove chicken from skillet and let it rest on a paper towel. Arrange chicken on a warm platter, drizzle with lemon juice, sprinkle half the parsley, then pour the browned butter over the chicken and garnish with the remaining parsley.
