Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts sliced in half to make 4 thin pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt divided
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons butter divided
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 Tablespoons capers drained
- fresh chopped parsley for serving
Instructions
- Gently pound the chicken filets until they are approximately 1/2 inch thick with a meat mallet.
- In a shallow bowl, stir together the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper and garlic powder. Dip each chicken breasts into the flour, coating all sides, and gently shake off any excess flour mixture.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the butter to a large skillet and melt over medium high heat. Cook the chicken pieces on both sides until browned (4-5 minutes). Remove the chicken from the skillet to a separate plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add in white wine and chicken broth. Scrape off any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer on medium low for 4-5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the remaining butter, capers, lemon zest, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of Salt.
- Add the chicken back to the pan and coat it with the sauce in the skillet.
- Serve warm topped with the fresh parsley. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can use 1 1/2 cups of Chicken broth instead of the white wine in this recipe if you prefer.
- I love serving this over angel pasta but it’s also delicious over rice or mashed potatoes as well.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor in this sauce.
- Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
