Ingredients

4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1/2 cup Flour for dredging
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
2 Lemons
2 tbsp Capers
1 cup Chicken Broth
2 cloves Garlic minced
1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off any excess.
Cook to Perfection. Heat olive oil and a bit of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.
Make the Piccata Sauce. In the same pan, add minced garlic, and after a few seconds, deglaze with chicken broth, scraping up any tasty bits. Stir in lemon juice, zest, and capers. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
Combine and Serve. Return the chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce. Simmer for a couple more minutes to let the flavors meld. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and extra lemon slices.
