A delightful Italian dish featuring tender chicken breasts coated in a crispy crust and a zesty lemon sauce with capers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (around 6 ounces each)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup capers, rinsed and drained
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken by seasoning both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add more butter and lemon juice, scraping the pan.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil, then add the capers and let flavors meld for 3 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken to the sauce, warming for about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Serve with a light salad or over creamy mashed potatoes. This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
