Method
- Start by placing the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound them to about ½ inch thick for even cooking.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Then, dredge each piece in flour, shaking off any excess to avoid a gummy texture.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a platter. Cover it loosely with foil to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping any browned bits off the bottom.
- Stir in the capers and remaining butter, letting the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve with a side of pasta, garlic mashed potatoes, or steamed asparagus.
