Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Chicken stock
• 0.25 cup Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Capers (rinsed and drained)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken stock and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, capers, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 7

While the sauce is simmering, cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Allow the chicken to heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

To serve, plate the cooked fettuccine and top with the chicken breasts. Spoon additional sauce over the chicken and pasta.

Step 10

Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and extra parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
