Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the capers and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it well with the sauce. Allow to simmer for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley before serving.
