Step by Step Method

Step 1

Cover the chicken breasts with a piece of plastic wrap and, using a meat pounder flatten each breast until thin.. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Put the flour in a shallow bowl. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour and shake off any excess.

Step 3

In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the foaming subsides, add the chicken and cook until golden brown on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the chicken and brown the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. When done, remove the chicken from the pan, sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper, and set aside.

Step 4

Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the lemon juice and capers, scraping up any brown bits and pieces left from the chicken. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.

Step 5

Return the chicken to the pan, place over medium heat, and warm gently for 1 minute. Top the chicken and sauce with the parsley and serve immediately.

I used 2 tab. of capers because the salty taste from them I really enjoy with the lemon. This is great tasting and easy to make with a great ending result that we both loved! I served pasta noodles with it to soak up the juices. Yumminess in every bite!
