MAYBE I'll do this, but with thighs. This from S. Tucci.

Lemon Chicken Scallopine 🍋🍗
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken fillets (thinly sliced or pounded)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
1. In a shallow dish, mix flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the chicken fillets in the mixture, coating both sides.
2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir and let simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced.

which I immediately assumed had nothing to do with chicken, or food. Shame on me.

They retain moisture much better than any other part of the chicken.

The recipe looks delicious.

You could probably sub OJ for the lemon juice. It might be sweeter depending on what brand you use.

I love pepper so I would be tempted to use lemon pepper in it, too.
