Share:
Ingredients
- 2 large boneless chicken breasts (or 4 chicken cutlets)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup white wine (or more broth)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3.5 ounce capers, drained
- 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with paper towels. If using full chicken breasts, lay them on a cutting board and cut each breast in half, parallel to the cutting board, to create 4 thin pieces.
- Place a large skillet on the stovetop and set to medium-high heat. Set a shallow pan next to the stove and pour the almond flour in it. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Mix well.
- Add 3 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Once hot, dip the four chicken cutlets in the almond flour, coating well on both sides. Then gently place them in the hot oil.
- Fry the chicken for 3 minutes per side. Use tongs to move them onto the prepared baking sheet and place them in the oven to keep warm.
- Pour the oil out of the skillet and wipe the dark crumbs out with a paper towel. Then set the skillet back over medium heat. Add the butter (or 3 more tablespoons oil) to the skillet and whisk in the arrowroot powder, chicken broth, white wine, and lemon juice.
- Bring to a simmer. Once the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon, add in the capers. Stir well.
- Place the chicken back in the skillet. Flip the chicken to coat it in the lemon sauce. Then serve with a generous sprinkling of parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Paleo? Use 6 tablespoons olive oil instead of butter.
- Keto? You can substitute more broth for the wine to lower the carbs.
