Step by step

Method

4 steps

  1. 1

    Slice 2 large chicken breasts into 4 cutlets and pound them to ¼-inch thickness. Season with ¾ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper, then dust lightly with ½ cup flour.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a wide skillet over medium-high. Sear the cutlets 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and 165°F. Transfer them to a plate.

  3. 3

    Add ½ cup dry white wine and scrape the browned bits. Simmer 2–3 minutes, until the sharp smell fades and the liquid is reduced by about half. Add ¾ cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons capers.

  4. 4

    Simmer the sauce 3–4 minutes, until it lightly coats a spoon. Lower the heat, whisk in 2 tablespoons cold butter, and return the chicken for 1–2 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the cutlets and finish with parsley.
