  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut horizontally into 4 flat fillets
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • â…“ cup (40g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon (1g) italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon (4g) onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) cooking oil
  • ¼ cup (25g) minced onions
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) minced garlic
  • ¼ cup (60ml) dry white wine
  • 1 cup (236ml) chicken stock
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 3–4 tablespoons (30-45g) capers
  • 1 tablespoon (4g) chopped fresh parsley for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, pat them dry, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Whisk flour, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. When the butter has melted, add the chicken and pan-fry for 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Work in batches if using a small skillet.
  5. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  6. Melt the remaining two tablespoons of butter in the same pan, and sauté the onion and garlic until the onion is soft and translucent.
  7. Add wine, chicken stock, and lemon juice, then bring to a boil while scraping up any brown bits from the bottom for extra flavor.
  8. Cook until the wine almost evaporates, stirring occasionally for 3-5 minutes, then reduce the heat to low and stir in the capers.
  9. Add the remaining butter, allow it to melt, and stir it into the sauce.
  10. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  11. Return the chicken to the pan with its juice and simmer for another 3-5 minutes.
  12. Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with pasta and parmesan cheese.
