Method
Preparation
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season each side generously with salt and pepper.
- Place your flour on a plate and dredge the chicken breasts in it, coating both sides thoroughly.
Cooking
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt and mix with the oil.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. When melted, pour in the lemon juice and chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits left from the chicken.
- Add the capers and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Place the chicken back into the skillet, coating it in the sauce. Allow everything to heat through for a minute, then remove from heat.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, drizzle with the sauce, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a twist, substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs or fish. Ensure oil is hot enough before adding the chicken for a crispy crust. Monitor cooking time to avoid dry chicken. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
