    Recipe Introduction


    Slice a medium sized breast crosswise, resulting in a 1/2 inch thick piece, about 4 oz each. Place each piece between two sheets of plastic wrap and lightly pound to flatten to an even thickness.

    List of Ingredients




    1 Tbsp olive oil
    4 thinly-sliced boneless, skinless
    chicken breast halves (about 4oz each)
    Salt and pepper
    4 tsp flour
    1 medium shallot,minced
    2 Tbsp drained capers
    1/2 cup chicken broth
    1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
    Grated lemon rind (optional)

    Recipe



    Warm oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat chicken with paper towels to dry. Season chicken with salt & pepper, then lightly coat with flour, using about 1 tsp for each breast.
    Lay chicken in skillet; cook 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown, gently pressing down on breast to ensure equal browning. Reduce heat to medium. Turn breasts; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove breasts to a serving platter.
    Reduce heat to low; add shallots and capers to skillet. Cook 30 seconds, stirring. Add broth and juice, cook 1 minute, until thickened, stirring. Pour sauce over chicken, add a little of the lemon rind. Serve.
