Prep the chicken breast

1
|
Butterfly then cut the chicken breast in half, or pound it in a zip top bag with a meat mallet to uniform thickness (about 1/2") to ensure even cooking time.

Prepare the chicken piccata

1
|
Season the chicken well with salt and pepper. Place the flour on a plate and dredge the chicken lightly in the flour to coat, shaking off any excess.
2
|
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. When it begins to sizzle, add the chicken and cook until browned and releases easily from the pan, about 3 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side. Remove from heat and set aside on a plate, then wipe out excess oil from the pan, being careful not to remove the browned bits.
3
|
Decrease the heat to medium and add the chicken broth, lemon juice and capers. Scrape up the bits from the bottom of the pan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium low and cook for 2-3 minutes or until reduced slightly.
4
|
Add the chicken back to the pan along with any accumulated juices and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees. Remove the chicken and place on a serving platter. Stir in the butter and season with salt and pepper. Adjust the seasoning as needed, then pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with parsley. Enjoy!
