Preparation
- Butterfly each chicken breast. Lay a piece of parchment paper on top and pound to about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick. Season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Cut each breast in half lengthwise so you have 4 pieces of chicken.
- Add the flour to a wide, shallow dish. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, shaking off the excess.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Pour the white wine into the pan and cook until reduced by half, about 1 minute.
- Add the butter, garlic, and capers and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the lemon juice and chicken stock and cook for 5 minutes, until the sauce has slightly thickened.
- Stir in the cream, then return the chicken to the pan.
- Sprinkle with the parsley and turn the chicken to coat in the sauce. Simmer for 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly, then remove from the heat.
- Serve the chicken and sauce over angel hair pasta.
- Enjoy!
