Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season and Dredge

    In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the dredged chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  5. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the capers, lemon juice, and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
