Ingredients
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound chicken breasts, sliced thin and pounded into cutlets
3 tablespoons butter
1 lemon, halved crosswise and seeds removed
2 teaspoons capers
Sauce:
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup hot chicken broth
Directions
- Shake flour, salt and pepper in a plastic bag. Add chicken pieces in batches to coat. Heat butter over medium heat in a skillet and brown each side of the coated chicken. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken and add capers. Remove to a platter and set aside in a warm place.
- To the same pan add butter for the sauce and mix with flour to make a roux. Gradually add chicken broth and allow thickening. Strain sauce, if desired, and serve spooned over chicken.
