Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutesIngredients:
- 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
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness.
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- 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.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- 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.
- Stir in the capers and parsley. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve the chicken Limone hot, spooning the sauce over the chicken. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes!
