Instructions
-
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour and parmesan cheese. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
-
Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture; shake off excess and set aside.
-
In a large pan or skillet heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
-
When hot, fry 2 pieces of chicken first until golden on each side and cooked through. This will take about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the chicken. Transfer to a warm plate.
-
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and another tablespoon of olive oil.
-
When hot, fry the remaining chicken until browned on both sides. Transfer to a plate.
-
In the same pan, melt one more tablespoon of butter. Fry the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Add the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.
-
Cook until wine almost evaporates, stirring occasionally.
-
Pour in the stock, lemon juice, and capers and allow to boil for about 6 minutes or until reduced slightly. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.
-
Add remaining butter to the pan, allow to melt, then add the chicken back into the pan along with all of the juices from the plate.
-
Simmer for 5 minutes to heat through.
-
Garnish with parsley and serve immediately with parmesan cheese, if desired.
