Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
On a plate, combine the gluten-free flour, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a simmer while scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Return the chicken to the skillet and let simmer for about 5 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally, until the sauce reduces slightly.
Remove the chicken once more and transfer to a serving platter.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and stir into the sauce until melted and emulsified.
Pour the sauce over the chicken, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
