Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Dredge them in flour, shaking off the excess.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Stir in the capers and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish the Sauce

    Add lemon juice and chicken broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with garlic rice or a mixed greens salad.
