Description

A classic Italian-American dish featuring tender chicken cutlets in a bright, tangy lemon and caper sauce.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup capers, drained
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Stir in capers and return chicken to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Remove from heat, stir in butter and parsley until butter melts. Serve immediately.
