Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 piece chicken breast boneless, skinless, cut in half lengthwise
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour for dredging
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
• 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons capers rinsed and drained
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cold
• 1 tablespoon parsley fresh, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

 

• Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.
• Dredge the chicken cutlets in flour and shake off the excess.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Sauté the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add lemon juice, chicken broth, and capers, scraping any browned bits off the bottom. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from heat and stir in cold butter until melted and the sauce is smooth.
• Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
