Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons capers, drained
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. Start by pounding the chicken breasts until they are about 1/4 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
4. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a boil and cook until the sauce has reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook until the butter has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.
7. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded together.
8. Serve the chicken scallopini with the sauce spooned over the top and garnish with fresh parsley.
