Lemon Chicken with Green & White Bean Salad

Ingredients:
- chicken breasts
- lemon pepper
- flour
- butter
- lemons
- white wine
- egg noodles
- steam in bag green beans
- cannellini beans
- salt
- olive oil

Lemon Chicken:
1.  Cut chicken into thin cutlets
2.  Season flour with lemonm pepper in a bowl.  Dredge chicken cutlets in seasoned flour.
3.  Brown floured chicken in skillet over medium heat with a little oil and butter. 
4.  When chicken is desired color, add lemon juice (juice of 1-2 lemons) and white wine.  Simmer in skillet with chicken.  You may want to add a little extra flour to thicken the sauce and lemon pepper for seasoning.  (The sauce is the best part.  You can always add a little water, butter, & flour to make more sauce!) 
5.  Serve chicken over egg noodles. 

Green & White Bean Salad:
1.  Steam green beans according to directions.
2.  Drain & rinse cannellini beans. 
3.  Add a little olive oil, lemon juice (juice of 1 lemon), and salt to the bottom of a serving dish.  Add steamed green beans and cannellini beans.  Toss. 

I like the taste of lemon a lot.  Add as much or as little lemon flavor as you like.  I'm sure the dish would be delicious without the wine too.  Enjoy!
