A bright and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken breasts in a tangy lemon-caper sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup capers
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper. Then, dredge each breast in flour, shaking off any excess.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the chicken to the sizzling skillet, cooking until browned on both sides and cooked through—about 4 minutes per side.
  4. In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring the sauce to a boil while scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet with the sauce and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in the remaining butter until melted, creating a creamy consistency.
  7. Serve the chicken hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

For a lighter flavor, you can omit the capers or substitute with green olives.
