Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness by placing them between two sheets of plastic wrap and pounding gently with a meat mallet.
Dredge the Chicken
Season the flour with salt and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.
Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter 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.
Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Then pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce slightly for about 3-4 minutes.
Combine and Serve
Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the chicken, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
