Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Dredge both sides in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add butter, lemon juice, chicken broth, and capers. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the sauce simmer for about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for another minute to heat through. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
