  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and season with salt and black pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off the excess.

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

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add butter and let it melt. Stir in the wine, lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 2 minutes.

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional minute. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
