Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.25 cup Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons Capers, drained
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
• 4 slices Lemon slices

Directions

Step 1

Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create 4 thin cutlets. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the flour to a shallow dish and dredge each cutlet, shaking off any excess flour.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling.

Step 4

Cook the chicken in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining butter to the skillet along with the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to deglaze the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 7

Stir in the capers and simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for 2 minutes to reheat the chicken.

Step 9

Garnish with parsley and lemon slices. Serve hot with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
