A delightful Italian dish featuring tender chicken breasts in a zesty lemon caper sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup capers, rinsed
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off the excess.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add lemon juice, chicken broth, and capers. Bring to a boil, scraping the pan to remove browned bits.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  5. Remove the chicken and add the remaining butter to the sauce. Stir in parsley and Parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and smooth.
  6. Serve the chicken drizzled with the sauce.

Notes

For best results, use fresh lemon juice and avoid crowding the skillet while cooking the chicken.
