Directions

  1. Stir beaten eggs and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese together in a shallow bowl. Stir flour, salt, and pepper together in a separate bowl. Dredge cutlets in the seasoned flour.

  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, heat butter and oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl the skillet once the butter has melted to combine butter and oil. Add lemon slices and cook, topped with a splatter screen, for 2 minutes per side.

  4. Dip floured chicken cutlets into the egg mixture and cook in the same skillet, about 4 minutes per side. Be careful not to disturb the cutlets as they brown. Remove browned cutlets to a rack and keep warm. Add garlic and cook about 30 seconds. Pour in chicken broth, wine, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and cook until liquid has reduced to about 1/3 cup, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.

  5. Remove skillet from heat and cool sauce slightly, about 2 minutes. Gradually add half-and-half, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Drain linguine, reserving some of the cooking water.

  6. Place skillet back on low heat. If the sauce is too thick, add cooking liquid from the pasta, 1 tablespoon at a time, until thinned to your desired consistency. If the sauce is too thin, create a paste from the leftover flour and about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Quickly stir or whisk the paste into the sauce and allow to cook to desired consistency.

  7. Return chicken pieces and lemon slices to the sauce to warm through, about 2 minutes.

  8. Serve each cutlet with two lemon slices and sauce over hot, cooked linguine. Garnish with fresh parsley.
