Ingredients:

• 2 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts halved to make 4 cutlets
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 Tablespoon olive oil
• 3 Tablespoon butter
• 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed
• fresh parsley, chopped
• salt & pepper

Instructions:

1. Evenly sprinkle salt & pepper over chicken breasts. Add all purpose flour to a shallow bowl and dip chicken into flour on both sides - shake off access flour.
2. In a small bowl whisk chicken broth, lemon juice + zest, and capers together. Set aside for later.
3. Heat olive oil and butter in a large pan. Add breaded chicken to pan and cook for 3 minutes on each side (cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken). Chicken should be browned and cooked through. Remove from pan.
4. In the same pan, add 1 Tablespoon of butter and minced garlic. Saute until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add chicken broth mixture to garlic - whisk ingredients together (make sure you scrape the bottom of the pan to get all the chicken flavor). Reduce sauce for about 4-5 minutes, whisk often.
5. Add chicken to pan with sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and parmesan cheese.

Notes:

Tips

• The sauce: to make the base of the sauce you can either use chicken broth or white wine. The end result of the sauce should be reduced and slightly thickened - if needed add 1 to 2 teaspoons of extra flour to thicken sauce.
• Capers: before using capers in recipe, make sure they are drained and thoroughly rinsed to help balance the flavors.
• Serve with: choose your favorite pasta to serve along with this recipe. Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese if desired.
