4 servings
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 ½ lb total)
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp olive oil
For the sauce
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- ½ cup dry white wine (such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc)
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 ½ lemons)
- 2 tbsp capers, drained
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)
- lemon slices, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Halve each chicken breast horizontally to make 4 thin cutlets. Place each cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even 1/4-inch thickness.

Season both sides of each cutlet with the salt and pepper. Spread the flour in a shallow dish and dredge each cutlet, pressing lightly so the flour adheres, then shaking off any excess.
