Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup brined capers, rinsed and drained

Begin by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness with a meat mallet. Season each breast with salt and pepper, then coat it lightly in flour.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they're golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
Add the lemon juice, chicken broth, and capers to the skillet, and bring the mixture to a boil. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until it has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.This Chicken Piccata recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. It's easy to make, yet impressive enough to serve for a special occasion. Enjoy!
