Serve this easy, great-tasting chicken with hot cooked pasta or a rice dish for a delicious and easy meal.

Use pounded boneless chicken breasts or thinly sliced chicken cutlets in this recipe.

A little white wine flavors this dish, but more chicken broth can be added as a substitute if you prefer a non-alcohol dish.

Cook Mode (Keep screen awake)

4 to 6 boneless chicken breast halves, without skin
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as chardonnay
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Gather the ingredients.
Using a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken breasts between sheets of plastic to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Combine flour with salt and pepper; dredge the chicken in the flour mixture.
Heat oil and butter in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat until hot; add chicken and cook for about 5 minutes, until browned. Turn and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes longer, or until browned.
Remove chicken to a platter for the time being.
To the skillet, add the minced garlic, wine, and lemon juice. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the liquid is almost evaporated.
Add the tomatoes and chicken broth; simmer for 4 minutes, or until reduced by about a quarter. Add capers and cook for 2 minutes longer.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and return the chicken to the skillet. Continue simmering for about 5 minutes longer, or until chicken is fully cooked.
Cooking time may vary, depending on thickness of the chicken.
Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Variations

If you want a non-alcohol dish, substitute the wine by adding more chicken broth.
