Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole, boneless skinless (about 1 pound total) chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup, finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup, freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, drained capers
- 2 tablespoons, fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create four thinner cutlets.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Coat each chicken cutlet in the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Add capers and cook the sauce for 3-4 minutes until it has reduced slightly.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to reheat the chicken.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
