Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup white wine OR chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup capers drained

Instructions

  • Pound chicken breasts to thin and flatten a little. Mix the flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a large ziplock bag. Shake each piece of chicken in mixture until coated.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Brown chicken on both sides until light brown. About 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a platter and cover to keep warm.
  • Leave the juices in the skillet and add wine. Stir and bring to a boil. Then immediately add chicken broth, lemon juice and 1 Tablespoon butter.
  • Place the chicken back into the skillet and cover. Simmer 10 to 15 minutes. Remove lid and add the capers. Replace lid and cook another 2 minutes. Serve each piece of chicken with warm sauce and cooked pasta, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

You can thicken the sauce by adding a 1/2 Tablespoon of cornstarch or flour. Whisk until thickened.
