Recipe Introduction


This is a very easy, quick recipe that is delicious, and the sauce used here can also be used on veal scaloppini, or even on seafood.






List of Ingredients



• 4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  
• 1/2 Cup Flour
  
• Salt & Pepper
  
• 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  
• 2 Tablespoons Butter
  
• For The Sauce:
  
• 4 Tablespoons Butter, Room Temperature
  
• 1-2 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  
• 1/3 Cup Dry White Wine
  
• 1/4 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice
  
• 1/4 Cup Canned Low-salt Chicken Broth
  
• 3-4 Tablespoons Drained Capers
  
• 1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Parsley
  
• Salt & Pepper
  






Instructions



1. To prepare the sauce, in a small pot, add the wine, broth, and lemon juice. Heat until bubbling. Reduce the heat until simmering, mix the flour into the 4 tablespoons of butter, and using a whisk, begin to add this mixture into the hot liquid, stirring constantly. Once thickened remove from the heat and add the capers and parsley. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Keep Warm.
   
2. Season the flour with salt and pepper, and slice the chicken breasts into 4 to 5 slices, using a sharp knife and cutting diagonally to create thin slices of meat. Dredge the chicken slices in the seasoned flour. Heat the oil and butter in a heavy frying pan, and add some of the chicken pieces to the pan, and cook in batches. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side over medium heat, until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through. Return all of the cooked chicken to the frying pan, and pour the prepared sauce over the chicken. Mix lightly to coat, and serve.
