Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts, sliced into cutlets
  • 1/2 cup gluten free flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breasts horizontally to create thin cutlets.
  2. Season with salt and pepper, then lightly dredge in gluten free flour, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Cook chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same pan, sauté garlic until fragrant.
  6. Add chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up browned bits from the pan.
  7. Stir in capers and lemon slices, then let the sauce simmer for a few minutes.
  8. Return chicken to the pan and spoon sauce over it.
  9. Add remaining butter and let it melt into the sauce.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use thin chicken cutlets for even cooking.
  • Substitute butter with olive oil for a dairy-free version.
  • Add a splash of white wine for extra depth of flavor.
  • Do not overcook chicken to keep it tender.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
