Chicken Piccata

Instructions

1. Step 1: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness.
2. Step 2: Season the flour with salt and pepper, then dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
3. Step 3: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.
4. Step 4: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
5. Step 5: In the same skillet, add the white wine, lemon juice, and chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
6. Step 6: Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 2 minutes, then add the capers and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, stirring until the sauce is smooth.
7. Step 7: Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top, and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
8. Step 8: Garnish the chicken with chopped parsley before serving.
