This Chicken Piccata is a fresh and delicious one-pan meal. Yum!

Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless thin-sliced chicken breasts
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 lemons, halved
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup capers, drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions:
Put flour, salt and black pepper into a large zip bag.
Add chicken breasts, seal and shake to coat each chicken breast.
In a skillet over medium high heat, melt butter with added olive oil.
When butter and oil sizzle, take chicken breast one at a time, shaking off excess flour and put in skillet.
Cook breasts for 3 minutes or until they are browned and then flip and cook for another 3 minutes .
Transfer the chicken breasts from the skillet to a plate.
If your skillet is not large enough to fit all four chicken breasts, cook them in batches, adding a few tablespoons of butter before each batch.
When chicken is finished cooking, add lemon wedges, cut side down, to the hot skillet.
Sear lemon halves 2 minutes, then remove and transfer to the plate with chicken.
In the skillet add lemon juice, chicken broth and capers.
Bring to a simmer and whisk frequently until the sauce starts to thicken.
Return the chicken and lemon halves to the pan and simmer 5 minutes.
When serving, spoon some of the sauce over each chicken breast on the plate, then garnish with parsley.
Serve with rice, mashed potatoes or pasta. Enjoy!
