Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Begin by flattening the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them gently with a meat mallet until they are about 1/2 inch thick.

  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.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Brown the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts in batches (if necessary) and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

  2. 4

    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. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.

  3. 5

    Add Capers and Chicken

    Stir in the capers and return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors and the sauce to reduce slightly.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate and Garnish

    Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken and sauce. Serve immediately, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
