Preparation

Step 1

Place each chicken breast half between two sheets of heavy duty plastic wrap and pound to 1/2 inch thickness. Place 1 t flour in a shallow dish. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour; shake off excess.

Melt 1 T butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 T oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken to pan; saute 4 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm.

Heat remaining 1 T oil in pan; swirl to coat. Add shallots to pan; saute 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic; saute 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add wine; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook until liquid almost evaporates, stirring occasionally. Add 1/4 cup broth to reserved 1 t flour; stir until smooth. Add remaining 1/2 cup of broth to pan; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

Stir in flour mixture; cook 1 minute or until slightly thick, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1 1/2 T butter, juice, and capers.

Place one chicken breast half on each of 4 plates; top chicken with sauce, sprinkle with parsley.
