Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Dredge the Chicken

    Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off excess.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook 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 and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet 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 bring to a simmer, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

  3. 5

    Add Lemon and Capers

    Stir in the fresh lemon juice and capers. Let the sauce simmer for another 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

  4. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
