I've been trying to learn to cook lately, and I might just try this out this week. Way to post recipes, Shae.

Hey Jon! I didn't realize anyone was actually commenting over here!

Well, this one is Pete's favorite. FYI, we tend to be a little generous with the proportions of both the breading and the wine/broth/lemon sauce. I might have to update the recipe to reflect that - we've made it according to the original but the tweaks are more to our taste.

Enjoy!
