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.
