This easy chicken dish that hails from Italy gets its classic flavor from the splash of lemon, the elegance of white wine, and garden-fresh parsley.
What You'll Need
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 tablespoon (3/4-stick) butter, divided
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1-1/2 to 2 pounds), pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 4 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon capers
What to Do
-
In a shallow dish, combine flour, parsley, salt, and pepper; mix well.
-
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat.
-
Coat the chicken evenly with flour mixture then sautee in batches over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden, adding more butter as needed. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
- Add wine, lemon juice, capers, and remaining butter to the skillet; mix well, and return cooked chicken to the skillet. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until sauce begins to thicken. Serve chicken topped with sauce.
