Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Begin by placing the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. This helps in even cooking.
- 2
Season and Dredge
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess flour.
Cooking
- 3
Sauté the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the dredged chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Stir in the capers.

Combine and Serve
Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
