Ingredients
Method
- Slice the chicken breasts into thinner cutlets.
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then coat it in flour.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter with olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the chicken pieces for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate.
- Remove the skillet from heat and add chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, remaining butter, and capers to the pan. Stir to release any browned bits.
- Stir in the cream and return the skillet to heat. Once the sauce is bubbling, add the chicken back to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has reduced to your liking. If the sauce thickens too much, add more broth.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and/or freshly grated parmesan cheese before serving.
