Recipe Brought to you by FoodFit

This recipe serves: 4
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 8 minutes

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 4 to 6 ounces each
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
flour for dredging
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Lay the chicken between two pieces of waxed paper and flatten each
cutlet with the flat end of a mallet until thin. Heat the olive oil in a
large, non-stick skillet until hot. While the oil is heating, season the
chicken with salt and pepper and dredge it in flour. Saute the chicken
over high heat, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a warm platter
and cover to keep warm. Quickly add the chicken broth to the pan and
stir with a wooden spoon to release any caramelized bits that may be
stuck to the pan. Cook until the broth has reduced by half. Add the
lemon juice and capers. Pour the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with
parsley and serve.
