🛒 Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour for dredging
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1 cup chicken broth

👨🍳 Instructions
-
1
Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
-
2
Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
-
3
Make the Sauce: Add lemon juice, chicken broth, and capers to the same skillet. Bring to a boil, scraping up brown bits. Cook for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
-
4
Finish the Sauce: Remove from heat and whisk in remaining 2 tbsp butter until melted and glossy.
-
5
Serve: Return chicken to skillet to warm through. Plate chicken, spoon sauce over top, and garnish with fresh parsley.
🎯 Pro Tips for Success
Use a meat thermometer – chicken should reach 165°F internal temperature
Adjust lemon juice to taste – add more for tangier sauce, less for milder flavor
Don’t overcrowd the pan – cook chicken in batches if needed for even browning
Scrape up all the brown bits – they add incredible flavor to the sauce
