INGREDIENTS

2	whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt, as needed
1/2	cup all purpose flour
1/4	cup grated Parmesan

3	tablespoons butter, divided
1/4	cup dry white wine

PREPARATION:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit

When butter foams, add cutlets, in batches if necessary, to color and cook through both sides -- a couple of minutes. Remove chicken to plate and keep warm.
