Ingredients:
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
- fresh cracked black pepper and kosher salt
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons nonpareil capers, rinsed
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Method:
- Place chicken breasts into a resealable plastic bag. Pound with a meat mallet (a rolling pin would work as well) until flattened to 1/4 inch thick. Remove from bag and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Note: You want them a uniform thickness so they cook evenly.
- Mix together flour and panko bread crumbs on a plate. Dredge chicken breasts in mixture. Allow to set for 10 minutes.
- In a large pan heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once butter melts cook chicken until browned, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove, transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Reserve pan drippings.
- To the same pan that you cooked the chicken in combine lemon juice, white wine, chicken broth and capers with the pan drippings. Cook over medium heat until reduced by 1/3 about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add in remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Swirl sauce in pan until butter melts.
- Uncover chicken, transfer to serving platter. Pour sauce over the top. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve.
While this is delicious on its own- place on a plate and serve over a bed of angel hair pasta for a simply satisfying meal.


I have a lemon tree on my patio, and I'm going to pick lemons right now to make this delicious chicken for dinner!
