Equipment
Method
- Start by placing the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the lemon juice and chicken broth, scraping the bottom to release any brown bits.
- Stir in the capers and let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Spoon the sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Serve with pasta, sautéed spinach, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
