Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.75 cups chicken broth
- 0.25 cups dry white wine
- 0.25 cups lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet until they are approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tenting with foil to keep warm.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken broth, white wine, lemon juice, and capers to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 6
Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until the sauce becomes smooth and glossy.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm the chicken through.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.
