Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lemons, washed
4 chicken breasts, large, skinless, boneless
1/2 cup flour, all purpose (Or more as needed. Can substitute non-gluten flour just fine.)
5 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup green olives, sliced and pitted (Sicilian or other brine-cured green olives)
2 tablespoons capers, drained (If you are a caper freak, adding more doesn't throw off any balance)
1 1/2 cups chicken stock (homemade, or canned broth works fine)
1/4 cup butter, 1/2 stick, cut into 4 pieces (1/4 cup Benecol or Smart Balance work just fine for this.)
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • For roasted lemons: Preheat oven to 325°F Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange lemon slices in single layer on prepared sheet. Brush lemon slices with olive oil; sprinkle lightly with salt. Roast until slightly dry and beginning to brown around edges, about 25 minutes. (Lemons can be made 1 day ahead. Transfer to container. Cover; chill.)
  • For chicken: Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour to coat both sides; shake off excess.
  • Heat 5 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over high heat.
  • Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Stir in olives and capers. Add stock and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom of skillet.
  • Boil until liquid is reduced to syrup consistency, turning chicken over after 3 minutes, about 5 minutes.
  • Add butter, roasted lemon slices, and 2 tablespoons parsley; simmer until butter melts and chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer to platter.
  • Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley before serving,.

I'm not a fan of green olives, so I left them out of the recipe. The dish was still delicious.

This dish was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I will definitely be making it again, but I will use less chili pepper next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the chicken was a little dry. I think I will try marinating the chicken next time.

This dish was a bit too salty for me, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend using less salt next time.
