Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 2 pounds

1/4 cup flour

2 tablespoons each oil and butter

1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/4 cup dry white wine

2 tablespoons capers, drained  (these are found in the olive section of the grocery store)

1/4 cup lemon juice ( fresh squeezed if possible)

3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

4 thin slices each lemon and lime for garnish

Directions:

Cut open one side on 4 large zip lock bags.  Place one chicken breast inside each zip lock bag and pound the chicken breast to 1/4 inch thickness using the flat side of a meat mallet.

 

Coat chicken breasts on all sides with flour.

 

Heat oil and butter in a large skillet.  Add the chicken.  Brown quickly on both sides – about 1 minute or so on each side.  Remove to platter.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

 

Add wine, capers and lemon juice to the skillet.  Heat to a boil, scraping down the sides and bottom of the pan.  When 4 tablespoons liquid remains, pour over the chicken.

Sprinkle with the fresh chopped parsley and garnish with the lemon and lime slices.  Enjoy!
