Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese plus more for serving
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter ⅜ stick
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- ¼ cup capers drained
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice from 1 lemon
For Serving (Optional)
- chopped fresh parsley
- Fresh lemon slices
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 4 thinner breasts (cutlets). Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Mix the flour and Parmesan in a shallow bowl.
- Lightly dredge the chicken to coat and set aside.
- Set your Instant Pot to SAUTE. Add in the oil and butter.
- Once melted, add the chicken breasts, two at a time, and cook until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the Instant Pot and set aside.
- Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any brown bits. Add in the chicken broth, capers, and chicken breasts.
- Pressure cook for 5 minutes, then natural release for 10 minutes before releasing any remaining pressure.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and add to the pot with the lemon juice. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the sauce is thickened.
- Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Garnish with grated Parmesan, parsley, and lemon slices.
