Ingredients

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast halves pounded thin and cut into 2 inch

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 clove Garlic minced

1/4 cup butter divided

1 cup Dry white wine

1/3 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (try using a little less than 1/4

2 tablespoons capers

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. Whisk together flour, black pepper, and paprika in a shallow dish. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, coating evenly; set aside. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; stir and cook the garlic until light brown, about 1 minute. Remove the garlic from the skillet and set aside. 2. Place 2 tablespoons of butter into the skillet with the olive oil. Cook the chicken pieces in the oil and butter over medium-high heat until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. 3. Pour the wine into the hot skillet and bring to a boil over high heat, scraping the browned pieces from the bottom and sides of the pan. Boil the wine until it is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the chicken broth, reserved garlic, lemon juice, and capers. Cook for 5 minutes over medium-high heat. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and parsley. Return the chicken pieces to the skillet and continue cooking over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. 4. Remove the chicken pieces to a serve over angel hair pasta and drizzle with a few tablespoons of the sauce and capers. Serve over angel hair pasta

I doubled the sauce but used only 1/4 cup lemon. Excellent my dinner party loved it.

THANK YOU this was absolutely delicious! Pretty easy too. Think I will double the sauce next time as others suggested. Served over rice. Making this for our next dinner party!

I just want to point out that 1/3 is more, not less than 1/4.

This was so easy to make and very tasty. I did add less lemon juice like other reviewers suggested and it came out perfect. I will definitely be making this again!
