COOK TIME

This easy chicken dish that hails from Italy gets its classic flavor from the splash of lemon, the elegance of white wine, and garden-fresh parsley.

What You'll Need

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 tablespoon (3/4-stick) butter, divided
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1-1/2 to 2 pounds), pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 4 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon capers

What to Do

  1. In a shallow dish, combine flour, parsley, salt, and pepper; mix well.
     
  2. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat.
     
  3. Coat the chicken evenly with flour mixture then sautee in batches over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden, adding more butter as needed. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
     
  4. Add wine, lemon juice, capers, and remaining butter to the skillet; mix well, and return cooked chicken to the skillet. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until  sauce begins to thicken. Serve chicken topped with sauce.
