By mamapig

Ingredients

• 8 chicken breasts
• 1 sm yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 4 scallions, chopped
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup flour
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 2 Tbsp dry sherry
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice

• 2 Tbsp chicken stock (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Sauté onions, garlic and scallions in olive oil until tender. Remove from pan and set aside. Remove skins and bones from chicken and pound flat. Mix flour, salt and pepper and place in a flat bowl. Dip chicken pieces into flour and lightly brown in butter, 2-3 minutes per side. Add sautéed onions and garlic. Over high heat, add sherry, lemon juice and capers. This should thicken to make a nice gravy for the chicken. If gravy becomes too thick, add some chicken stock.
