Ingredients

4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup white wine
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers
2 teaspoons minced garlic
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap. Pound breasts to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet.
Spread flour into a wide, shallow dish. Press chicken into flour to coat completely.
Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook chicken in hot butter mixture until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet to a serving platter and cover with a lid to keep warm.
Pour white wine, lemon juice, capers, and garlic into the pan. Bring the liquid to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; cook at a boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
Drizzle sauce over and around the chicken; garnish with parsley.
