Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced and pounded thin)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter (divided)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • ½ cup white grape juice (or chicken broth)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon capers (optional)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness, season with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour.
  2. Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil and half of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken pieces until golden brown—about 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. Make the Sauce: Remove chicken from the skillet; add minced garlic and sauté briefly. Deglaze with white grape juice, add chicken broth and lemon juice; let reduce for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Finish It Up: Stir in remaining butter and capers if using. Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over it, and simmer for another minute.
  5. Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve hot alongside your choice of sides.
