To make Italian Chicken Piccata, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

To start, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
