This is a quick and easy take on the Italian classic.

ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp flour
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 C chicken stock
  • 2 Tbsp capers
  • 1/2 lemon
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Italian Parsley for garnish

directions

  • 1

    Cut the chicken breasts into two thin halves. Lay the four chicken breast halves on a plate and sprinkle evenly with the flour on each side (if you like a thicker, more breaded cutlet then dredge the chicken in a lot of flour). Salt and pepper them to taste.

  • 2

    Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet. Place the chicken fillets into the pan and begin to cook on each side until they are cooked through and begin to brown.

  • 3

    Pour in the chicken stock, capers and squeeze the juice of the lemon over the fillets. Cook over high until the sauce begins to slightly reduce and thicken and serve.

notes

You can add a clove or two of garlic if you are a garlic lover like Collin and I are.
