Preparation

Step 1

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add flour to bag; add cutlets and coat evenly; shake off any excess flour. Repeat. (Wash hands)

Preheat large saute pan on medium high for 2-3 minutes. Place oil and one tablespoon butter in pan to melt, then add chicken. Cook 2-3 minutes on each side or until well browned.

Reduce heat to medium low; add broth, lemon juice, and capers. Simmer 3-4 minutes or until sauce thickens and chicken is 165 degrees. Remove chicken. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter.

Serve sauce over chicken.
