Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Place flour in a bowl; add egg whites to another bowl; beat eggs.
Heat a very large non-stick skillet over medium heat; when hot, lightly coat the bottom of the skillet with cooking spray.
Lightly flour chicken in the first bowl; dip chicken in beaten egg whites. Place chicken in hot skillet, a few at a time; saute 2-3 minutes on each side. When cooked, transfer onto a plate. Repeat until all chicken has been cooked; set aside.
When all chicken is cooked, add chicken broth to the bowl with 1 T. flour; whisk. Add to the skillet along with the lemon juice, white wine, lemon slices, parsley and butter; simmer over medium heat for about 2 minutes until it reduces slightly and thickens. Turn off heat.
Return chicken to the skillet with the sauce.
Serve immediately.
