Preparation

Step 1

In a wide, shallow bowl stir together flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, flipping to coat all sides of the chicken. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Reduce. Once melted, place chicken in the pan and cook - without disturbing - for 3-5 minutes. Flip chicken and cook another 3-4 minutes until chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Step 3

Add garlic to the pan and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in chicken broth and lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream. Simmer for 3-5 minutes. Stir in capers and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

Return chicken to pan, spoon lemon caper cream sauce over the chicken, garnish with herbs if desired, and serve over angel hair pasta.
