A classic Italian-American dish featuring tender chicken cutlets in a bright, tangy lemon-caper sauce, perfect for a quick and elegant dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
