Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick. This ensures even cooking.

Season the Chicken
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
- 3
Dredge in Flour
Place the flour in a shallow dish and dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess.
Cooking
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- 5
Cook the Chicken
Add the floured chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the lemon juice, chicken broth, and capers, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for about 3-4 minutes.

Finish the Dish
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is heated through. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
