Ingredients

• 2 whole, boneless skinless (about 1 pound total) chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup, finely grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.25 cup, freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons, drained capers
• 2 tablespoons, fresh chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create four thinner cutlets.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Coat each chicken cutlet in the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 7

Add capers and cook the sauce for 3-4 minutes until it has reduced slightly.

Step 8

Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to reheat the chicken.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
