Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken cutlets with salt and black pepper.
Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off excess.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, add chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers.
Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
Reduce heat and stir in the remaining 2 tbsp butter until melted.
Combine & Serve:
Return the chicken to the pan and spoon the sauce over it.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions:
