Categories     Poultry

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless (about 3/4 lb total)
salt, to taste
1 cup flour
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white wine
4 large lemons
4 ounces unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons capers

Steps:

  • Cut three lemons in half and use for fresh lemon juice. Pour the juice through a fine strainer. Cut the last lemon into wedges for garnish.
  • Begin to heat the olive oil in a 12 inch sauté pan on med-high.
  • Pound the chicken to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  • While oil is getting hot, lightly season both sides of the chicken breast with salt.
  • Lightly dust the chicken breast in the flour, shake off excess flour.
  • Place chicken in the sauté pan; when the chicken is golden brown, turn over and brown the other side as well. It is important to brown both sides to insure the chicken is completely cooked through.
  • When both sides are nice and brown, add white wine and lemon juice.
  • Continue to cook for approximately two to three minutes. The liquid should reduce approximately half.
  • Once the liquid is reduced, remove the chicken breasts from the pan and turn off heat.
  • Check to make sure the chicken breasts are cooked by turning each piece of chicken over and cutting it halfway through with a knife. There should be no visible pink. If the chicken is not completely cooked through, place inches a 400 degree oven for five minutes to complete cooking.
  • Finish the sauce by placing the softened butter in the pan. Using rubber spatula, work the butter into the sauce as it melts.
  • Add capers to the sauce.
  • Pour sauce directly on top of chicken breasts. Garnish with lemon wedges.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The chicken is always moist and flavorful, and the lemon sauce is the perfect balance of tangy and creamy. I highly recommend this recipe!

I made this dish for a dinner party and it was a huge success. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the lemon sauce was amazing. I served it with roasted vegetables and everyone loved it. Definitely a keeper!

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked in about 20 minutes. The lemon sauce was delicious and I served it over rice. My husband and I both enjoyed it.

This chicken with lemon dish was a burst of flavor! The chicken was moist and tender, and the lemon sauce was tangy and bright. I served it over pasta, and it was a hit with my family. I'll definitely be making this again!
