Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 c all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp vegetable oil, or as needed
1 clove garlic, minced
1 c low sodium chicken broth
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
1/4 c fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp capers, drained and rinsed
3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp minced italian (flat-leaf) parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place a serving platter into the oven to warm.
  • 2. Season the chicken breast pieces with salt and pepper and dredge them in flour. Shake off excess flour. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet; pan-fry the chicken pieces until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Work in batches and do not crowd skillet, adding oil as needed . Place the chicken pieces onto the warmed platter in the oven. When finished with all the chicken, drain most of the oil from the skillet, leaving a thin coating on the surface of the pan.
  • 3. Cook and stir the minced garlic in the skillet until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Pour in the chicken broth. Scrape and dissolve any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the lemon slices and bring the mixture to a boil. Let cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces to about 2/3 cup, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the lemon juice and capers; simmer until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes more. Drop the butter into the skillet and swirl it into the sauce by tilting the skillet until the butter is melted and incorporated. Add the parsley; remove from heat and set aside.
  • 4. Arrange the chicken on serving plates and spoon sauce over each portion to serve.

This recipe was a waste of time. The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland.

The capers were too overpowering. I would recommend using less or omitting them altogether.

The sauce was too thick. I would recommend adding more chicken broth.

The chicken was a bit dry. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

This dish is a bit too tangy for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice.
