Ingredients (serves 4):
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Cooking Tips:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before coating them in the flour mixture. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.

1. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
2. Dip each chicken breast in the beaten eggs, then coat in the flour mixture.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers, and stir to combine.
6. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
7. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top.
8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
