This is my son's favorite dish. He is a very persnickety eater. Serve this chicken recipe over white rice.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ stick butter

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ½ cup white wine

  • 3 medium lemons, juiced

  • 2 tablespoons drained capers

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Slice chicken breasts horizontally to yield 4 pieces. Place breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thin. Place flour on a plate and dredge each breast on both sides in flour.

  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Put chicken into the skillet and season tops with salt and pepper. Turn when nicely browned, about 4 minutes, and season again. Cook second side until browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer breasts to a plate, reserving skillet drippings.

  3. Add wine and lemon juice to the skillet, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. Simmer to reduce and thicken sauce, about 5 minutes more. Add capers and pour sauce over chicken breasts on the plate. Sprinkle with parsley.
