6 servings



1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter

6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1-1/2 to 2 pounds), pounded to 1/4" thickness

1/2 cup dry white wine

Juice of 2 lemons

2 tablespoons capers




In a shallow dish, combine the flour, parsley, salt, and pepper; mix well.



In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat.



Coat the chicken evenly with the flour mixture then sauté in batches over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden, adding more butter as needed.



Add the wine, lemon juice, capers, and remaining butter to the skillet; mix well, and return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken. Serve chicken topped with sauce.
