Ingredients

• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 2 skinned and boned chicken breasts (about 1 lb) and pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
• 5 tsp corn oil
• 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp capers, drained

Preparation

Step 1

combine the flour, pepper and paprika on a plate. Press the chicken breast into the mixture, coating them evenly all over and shaking off any excess.

In a heavy 10 inch skillet, heat the corn oil over moderately high heat for 1mins. Add the breasts and cook, about 3 mins on each side; do not overcook. Transfer the breasts to a heated platter.

Add the chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom. Stir in the lemon juice and capers and heat through. Pour the sauce over the breasts.
