Method
Prepare the Chicken
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
Bread the Chicken
- Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg, and then coat with breadcrumbs.
Cook the Chicken
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Make the Sauce
- In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Add the capers and let the sauce simmer for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Serve
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the top, and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
