Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter (divided)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • ½ cup white grape juice (or chicken broth)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon capers (optional)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness and season with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour to coat.
  2. Heat olive oil and half the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove from skillet.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (30 seconds). Deglaze with white grape juice or chicken broth.
  4. Stir in chicken broth and lemon juice; allow to reduce slightly for a velvety texture. Add capers if using.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over each piece. Simmer together for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley.
