A beloved Italian dish featuring tender chicken breasts sautéed in a bright lemon-caper sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Dredge each seasoned chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. Sauté the chicken in a large skillet with olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side.

  6. Finish by stirring in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
