3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, crushed

Toasted rustic bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, tapping off excess. Heat a large skillet over high; swirl in 3 tablespoons oil. Add chicken; cook until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add flour to skillet; cook 30 seconds. Add capers, then whisk in 3/4 cup broth until it comes to a boil. Whisk in lemon juice and butter. Return chicken to skillet; coat in sauce and simmer until thickened, about 30 seconds.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add garlic and broccoli rabe; toss to coat. Add remaining 1/2 cup broth, cover, and simmer, still over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until broccoli rabe is tender, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Prep the ingredients in advance: Chop the vegetables, cook the chicken, and make the sauce ahead of time to save time during assembly.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the summer rolls will taste. Look for crisp vegetables, tender chicken, and flavorful herbs.
  • Don't overfill the summer rolls: Overfilling will make them difficult to roll and may cause them to break apart.
  • Wet the rice paper wrappers thoroughly: This will make them pliable and easy to work with.
  • Roll the summer rolls tightly: This will help them hold their shape and prevent the filling from falling out.
  • Serve the summer rolls with your favorite dipping sauce: A simple soy sauce or peanut sauce is a great option.
