Description

Directions

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess.
• In a large skillet melt 2 tbsp of butter with the olive oil, over medium to high heat.
• Add chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 min per side until browned. When chicken is cooked, remove chicken from skillet.
• Remove skillet from heat. Add lemon juice, chicken stock or wine, capers and scrape up the brown bits from the pan for extra flavor. Return skillet to heat and bring to a boil.
