Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 anchovy fillets
2 cloves garlic
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
Salt
1 pound egg tagliatelle
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Freshly ground pepper
All-purpose flour, for dredging
3 eggs
2 tablespoons EVOO
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Warm a serving platter in a 250 degree F oven.
  • Pile the parsley, anchovies and garlic on a cutting board and finely chop them together. Mix in the lemon zest.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente.
  • Meanwhile, cut into and across the chicken breasts and open them like a book. Pound into very thin cutlets, 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides, then dredge in flour to coat. Beat the eggs in a shallow dish with a splash of water.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons EVOO and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Dip 2 pieces of the chicken in the egg to coat, then saute until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the warm platter. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and cook the remaining pieces of chicken. Add to the platter.
  • Add the chicken stock, wine and lemon juice to the skillet and simmer until slightly reduced. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and stir until melted. Add the chicken to the sauce, turning it to coat, then return the chicken to the platter. Add half the parsley-anchovy gremolata to the sauce, then add the pasta and toss for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Garnish the chicken with the remaining gremolata and serve alongside the pasta.
