Lemon Caper Chicken Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons light butter
• 1/2 cup chicken stock or white wine
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 cup capers
• Salt and pepper

  to taste

Instructions

• 1 Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons
  of butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted. Cook the chicken
  breasts for 7-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked
  through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
• 2 Pour the chicken stock or white wine into the same skillet, along with the lemon
  juice and capers. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, deglazing
  the pan by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom to enhance the flavor.
• 3 Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside again. Add the remaining
  butter and olive oil to the skillet. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the
  butter melts completely and the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
• 4 To serve, arrange the cooked chicken on a platter and generously spoon the
  creamy caper sauce over the top. This dish is best enjoyed warm.
