Ingredients

4 (6 oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

0.25 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

0.5 cup white wine

0.25 cup fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons capers

2 teaspoons minced garlic

0.25 teaspoon salt

0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap. Pound breasts with a meat mallet or small heavy skillet until they reach 1/2-inch thickness.

Spread flour in a shallow dish. Press chicken into the flour mixture to coat completely.

Melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in the hot butter mixture until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a serving platter; cover with a lid to keep warm.

Pour white wine, lemon juice, capers, and garlic into the skillet. Bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Cook at a boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Drizzle sauce over and around chicken. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
