Ingredients


Preparation

Season cutlets with salt & pepper then dust with flour.

Spray a sauté pan with nonstick spray, add vegetable oil, and heat over medium-high.

Sauté cutlets 2-3 minutes on one side, flip over and sauté the other side 1-2 minutes with the pan covered.

Transfer cutlets to a warm plate; pour off fat from pan.

Deglaze pan with wine and add minced garlic. Cook until garlic is slightly brown and liquid is nearly gone, about 2 minutes.

Add broth, lemon juice, and capers. Return cutlets to the pan and cook on each side one minute. Transfer cutlets to a warm plate.

Finish with butter and lemon slices. Once butter melts, pour sauce over cutlets.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve.

I stole one tip from another recipe and used chicken breast, cut in half, and pounded to about 1/4" thick. This recipe came out very nice, but I would have liked the lemon to shine through a bit more. My girlfriend was very impressed with it, while I was less impressed, perhaps a tad more lemon would have made the sauce really jump out, and I think that if I should try this again I might add some heavy cream to the sauce to add some heartiness and thicken it a little.

Overall not bad, expecially when served over some pasta with some sauteed asparagus on the side (I sauteed the asparagus in some EVOO with a half a lemon squeezed over it after it cooked, it complimented this dish nicely!).
