Chicken and lemon with a hit of salty capers = yumtown.
I love that you only need 5 ingredients for this dish too.
Yes, you have to buy capers but they'll have them at your local store.
And they last in the fridge so you can make this lemon chicken dish all season.
Woohoo!💃
✅Top Tip
Getting the chicken the same thickness is soooo helpful. So yah. Pound it out baby.

🥡Make it a Meal Prep
Place the chicken in meal prep containers with this Chopped Greek Salad (no lettuce) and Perfect Instant Pot Basmati Rice. Or make an easy quinoa salad and use that with the chicken.
Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1 lb. chicken breast 450g
- 3.5 oz. 100g butter 100g / 3.5 oz
- 4 tablespoon capers drained
- 3 lemons zested & juiced
- 2 tablespoon parsley chopped
Instructions
- Place a chicken breast between cling film and pound to 1.5 cm thick. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat ¼ of the butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 4 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining butter to the pan. Stir until melted and golden. Add capers and cook for 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice and half the lemon zest.
- Return chicken and juices to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is done and the sauce thickens.
- Sprinkle with parsley and the remaining lemon zest before serving.
Notes
Top tip: be sure to actually pound the chicken out so it's all the same thickness. It makes it so much easier to cook even-Steven.
Serve with potatoes and veggies or rice and a salad.
