Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Dredge in Flour

    Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.

  3. 3

    Cook Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Make Lemon Butter Sauce

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Add Lemon Juice and Capers

    Pour in the lemon juice and add the capers. Stir well, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it well with the lemon butter sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is heated through. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
