olive oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (or use cutlets)
salt and pepper
Sauce
¼ c capers, rinsed
⅓ c Pinot Grigio wine I used Cavit
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped yellow onion
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1⁄2-inch pieces, divided
kosher salt
pepper
Directions:
For the Chicken:
Horizontally slice the chicken into two, but not all the way through. Just enough to form it into a butterfly shape.
Use a meat mallet to gently pound each chicken to about ¼-inch thick.
In a mixing bowl, add grated Parmesan cheese, flour, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
Coat the chicken with the flour mixture.
Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high.
Add olive oil and allow it to become hot.
Add the chicken, then cook each side for 3 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Transfer onto a clean plate, then cover them to keep warm.
For the Sauce:
Place a pan on the stove and turn the heat to medium.
Add 1 tbsp of butter and allow it to melt.
Add the onion, then sauté for a few minutes until soft.
Add garlic, then sauté for a minute or until aromatic.
Add lemon juice and wine, then stir until well blended. Allow the mixture to boil.
Simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce reduces to 2 tbsp.
Add butter, then whisk until melted completely and well blended. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
Add the capers, then stir until well mixed.
For Serving:
Top each pasta on a plate with the chicken and the delicious sauce.
Serve and enjoy!
