Ingredients:
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each)

- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup apple juice

Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. In a shallow bowl, combine 4 tablespoons flour, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Dip chicken into eggs, then coat with flour mixture.
In a large skillet, cook chicken in 1 tablespoon butter and oil over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining, salt and pepper; stir in broth until smooth. Add apple juice to the skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits. Stir broth mixture and add to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly.
