Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions: How to Cook Chicken Limone

  1. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
  7. Stir in the capers and parsley. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
  8. Serve the chicken Limone hot, spooning the sauce over the chicken. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes!
