Ingredients

• 4 thinly sliced chicken cutlets (1 1/2 lbs)
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup of all purpose flour, for dredging
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon unsalted butter or trans-fat free margarine
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from two medium lemons)
• 1/2 cup reduced sodium chicken stock
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 tablespoon brined capers, well rinsed, chopped
• 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Season chicken with pepper. Dredge in flour. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook 2 minutes per side until brown. Transfer to a plate

Add the lemon juice, chicken stock, and cappers and bring to a simmer, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Return the chicken to the pan along with the spinach. Cover and cook 1 minute more, turning once until the chicken is cooked through and the spinach has wilted. Add the butter or margarine and stir to combine. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
