Ingredients
- – 3 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into 1/2-inch medallions
- – salt and pepper to taste
- – ½ cup all-purpose flour
- – 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
- – 1 clove garlic, minced
- – 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
- – ½ lemon, thinly sliced
- – ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- – 2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
- – 3 tablespoons butter
- – 2 tablespoons minced Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
Directions
Season the chicken breast pieces with salt and pepper and dredge them in flour. Shake off excess flour. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet; pan-fry the chicken pieces until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Work in batches and do not crowd the skillet, adding oil as needed . Place the chicken pieces onto a grate over a baking sheet. When finished with all the chicken, drain most of the oil from the skillet, leaving a thin coating on the surface of the pan.
Cook and stir the minced garlic in the skillet until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Pour in the chicken broth. Scrape and dissolve any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the lemon slices and bring the mixture to a boil. Let cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces to about 2/3 cup, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the lemon juice and capers; simmer until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes more. Drop the butter into the skillet and swirl it into the sauce by tilting the skillet until the butter is melted and incorporated.
Arrange chicken breasts on a serving platter and pour the sauce over them and serve.
