Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breast cutlets (about 1-1/2 pounds)
- 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 Tbsp small capers, drained
Preparation:
Combine flour, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle evenly on both sides of chicken cutlets.Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken in one layer and cook on the first side for 5 minutes, until golden brown.
Turn the chicken cutlets to the second side. Add butter, white wine, and lemon juice, swirling around chicken to combine. Cook about 1 minute. Add chicken stock and capers. Cook another 1 to 2 minutes until chicken is no longer pink in the center (internal temperature should be 170 F.) and pan gravy has thickened.
