Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breast fillets (approximately 150 g each)
- 100 g flour
- 50 g butter
- 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Step by step:

1. Preparing the meat: Start by washing and thoroughly drying the chicken fillets. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently flatten them so they cook evenly. This step is essential to achieve tender and juicy scaloppini.

2. Seasoning: Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the fillets. The flour will help create a delicious crust when the chicken is fried, so make sure it is well coated.

3. Dredging in flour: Place the flour in a shallow bowl and dredge the chicken fillets in it, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour, as too much can make the crust difficult to brown.

4. Frying: In a large skillet, add the butter and let it melt over medium heat. Once the butter starts to sizzle, add the chicken scaloppini. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan to allow the heat to circulate well.

5. Adding lemon: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a platter. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice to add a refreshing taste. This not only enhances the flavors but also provides a pleasant contrast to the butter.

6. Serving: Serve the chicken scaloppini warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for an extra touch of freshness. They pair wonderfully with a side of mashed potatoes or sautéed vegetables.

Helpful tips:
- For a more flavorful version, you can add some herbs like thyme or oregano during frying.
- If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, you can also add lemon zest over the scaloppini before serving.
- Instead of butter, you can experiment with olive oil for a lighter version.
