1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add chicken filets and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2
Prepare the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Dredge each filet in flour, shaking off excess.
3
Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken filets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
4
Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, add butter and capers. Cook for 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add a splash of lemon juice and stir to combine.
5
Combine and Serve
Return the chicken to the skillet to coat in the sauce. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and your choice of side.
