Preparation

Step 1

1. On a sheet of wax paper or in a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Coat each breast with the mixture, shaking off the excess.

2. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned and no longer pink in the center. Remove to a serving platter.

3. Add the chicken broth and lemon juice to the skillet.

Cook over medium-high heat, stirring to scrape up any browned bits in the pan, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced slightly. Stir in the capers and parsley. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve right away with lemon slices and a sprinkling of fresh parsley.
