Preparation

Step 1

1. Place chicken breasts between 2 layers of plastic wrap and pound to about 1/2" thick
OR use thinnest cutlets/tenders possible

3. Heat evoo in a skillet over medium high heat. Place chicken in the pan, reduce heat to medium, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side; remove to a plate

4. Cook capers in reserved oil, smashing them lightly to release brine, until warmed throughout, about 30 seconds.

5. Pour white wine into skillet. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.

6. Stir lemon juice, water, and butter into the reduced wine mix; cook and stir continuously to form a thick sauce, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir parsley through the sauce.
