Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken breasts slightly flat with a tenderizer.
  2. Add flour to a wide bowl and add half the chili power along with salt and pepper to your taste. Coat the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour.
  3. Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and melt. Swirl it around the pan.
  4. Add the chicken to the pan along with your chili pepper slices. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip everything and cook another 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken and peppers and set aside.
  5. Add remaining butter, olive oil, lemon juice, white wine and capers. Swirl and scrape up the flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan. Add a bit more chili powder and salt and pepper to your taste.
  6. Return to heat and bring to a boil. Taste for seasonings and adjust as desired. Add chicken, reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes.
  7. Serve with green onions and extra chili powder sprinkled over the top. Add extra lemon slices to make it look pretty!
