-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 skinned and boned chicken breast halves
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter or margarine
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
fresh coarsely ground black pepper
1 1/2 tbsp finely chopped parsley

Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of waxed paper and gently pound with a
meat mallet until about 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt.

Heat butter in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat until bubbly
and starting to brown. Add chicken and cook about 10 minutes, turning
occasionally, or until almost opaque in center and golden on both sides.
Remove to serving plates.

Remove skillet from heat and let pan juices cool briefly. Add lemon juice, and
stir to loosen brown drippings in bottom of pan. Spoon over chicken, season
well with pepper, then sprinkle with parsley.
