Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb. chicken breast
  • 3.5 oz. butter
  • ¼ cup capers drained
  • 3 lemons zested, juiced
  • ½ cup parsley chopped
  • salt & pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place a chicken breast between 2 sheets of cling film. Use a meat mallet, or rolling pin, to gently pound the chicken until it is approximately 1/2 inch thick. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Heat ¼ of the butter in a large pan over a medium-high heat and cook the chicken. Cook for 4 minutes each side or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the remaining butter to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until the butter melts and turns a golden brown color.
  • Add the capers to the butter and cook for 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and half the lemon zest, and mix through. Now place the chicken and any juices back in the pan. Cook, turning occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • To serve, sprinkle with parsley and remaining lemon zest.

OUR NOTES

*You can also buy chicken breasts already prepped and pounded into 1/2-inch thickness to speed things up a bit!
