Wonderful lemon flavored chicken with capers. Always a hit at our house.
1. Season chicken with salt & pepper. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess.
2. In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt 2 T. of butter with 3 T. olive oil. When butter and oil start to sizzle, add 2 pieces of chicken and cook for 3 minutes.
3. When chicken is browned, flip and cook other side for 3 minutes. Remove and transfer to plate.
4. Melt 2 more T. butter and add another 2 T. olive oil. When butter and oil start to sizzle, add the other 2 pieces of chicken and brown both sides in same manner. Remove pan from heat and add chicken to the plate.
5. Into the pan add the lemon juice, stock and capers. Return to stove and bring to boil, scraping up brown bits from the pan for extra flavor. Check for seasoning (add salt & pepper to taste).
6. Return all the chicken to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove chicken to platter.
7. Add remaining 2 T. butter to sauce and whisk vigorously. Pour sauce over chicken and garnish with parsley.
This recipe calls for unsalted butter but I have always used salted and it still tastes wonderful. I also try to make double the sauce because my family loves it so much we serve it over rice. Finally, the parsley is more of an aesthetic thing. You can definitely make this even if you don't have parsley in the house.
