Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 4 slices lemon slices
Directions
Step 1
Start by slicing each chicken breast horizontally into two even cutlets. Cover with plastic wrap and pound gently to uniform thickness.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Dredge the chicken cutlets in the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere and shaking off any excess.
Step 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 6
In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and butter. Once melted, stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers.
Step 7
Bring the sauce to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the pan with a wooden spoon.
Step 8
Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for another 3-4 minutes.
Step 9
Garnish with lemon slices and chopped parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve the chicken immediately, drizzled with extra sauce from the pan.
