This meal is elegant enough for company and easy to make.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 whole lemons
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup capers
- chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- If chicken breasts are overly thick, pound them thin or slice in half crosswise. Salt and pepper each breast and dredge in flour. Once butter and oil is hot, cook chicken breast about 3 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet and place on a plate and set aside.
- Turn the heat to medium low. Add broth, juice from both lemons, heavy cream, and capers. Bring the sauce to a boil and return to medium low heat. Taste and adjust seasonings. Allow to simmer for 3 minutes.
- Spoon sauce over the chicken and garnish with parsley. Serve with your favorite sides. Angel hair pasta is a great option.
