Brown the chicken cutlets on both sides for about 3 minutes each side. Once browned, transfer the chicken cutlets to a plate and set aside.

Add the tomatoes, garlic, remaining 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 2 tsp flour to the skillet. Cook for another 3 minutes or so, stirring regularly.

Add the white wine to the skillet, cooking briefly to reduce slightly. Then, add the lemon juice and chicken broth.
9
Bring the liquid to a boil before placing the chicken cutlets back into the skillet.

Cook over high heat for 3-4 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
