Ingredients
- 2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1/3 cup white wine or chicken broth
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 orange juiced (about 4 tablespoons, large
- 1 lemon juiced (about 3 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons capers drained
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- If using ice-glazed chicken like I did, rinse chicken under lukewarm water for a couple of minutes. Dry with paper towels. Sprinkle each side of the chicken with salt and pepper, and then dredge in the flour.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and place in a baking dish and bake for 10-15 minutes (depending on the thickness of your chicken).
- In the meantime, Add wine to skillet and bring to a boil and scrape any cooked pieces from the pan. Stir in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and continue to simmer broth until about half of the liquid evaporates. Stir in orange and lemon juices with the capers. Pour over chicken.

Notes
- If you are using thawed and think sliced chicken, you do not need to bake the chicken. Pan cook for about 2 minutes per side.
