01 Step
Recipe View
In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, and black pepper. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Dredge each chicken breast piece in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it shimmers and is hot but not browning. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Carefully place the floured chicken pieces in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook in batches. (Cook time: 10-12 minutes per batch)
05 Step
Recipe View
Pan-fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside, keeping warm. (Cook time: 10-12 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Pour the white wine into the skillet. Use a spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan; these add tremendous flavor to the sauce. (Prep time: 1 minute)
07 Step
Recipe View
Bring the wine to a simmer and let it reduce slightly for about 5 minutes, or until it has thickened a bit. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Stir in the lemon juice and capers. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and turn to coat it evenly with the lemon-caper sauce. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View
To serve, transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley.
For a richer sauce, you can add a tablespoon of heavy cream at the end.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth to thin it out.
Pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness ensures they cook evenly.
Serve immediately over pasta, risotto, or with a side of roasted vegetables.
