LEMON CHICKEN PICCATA

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup capers, drained

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Dredge the chicken breasts in flour, shaking off any excess.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Serve the lemon chicken piccata hot, over pasta and additional lemon slices if desired.
