Ingredients

    • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 oz each), butterflied and cut in half
    • Black pepper to taste
    • 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
    • 3 Tbsp reduced-calorie trans fat free margarine
    • 2 Tbsp olive oil
    • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
    • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
    • 1 Tbsp capers, rinsed
    • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

    • Season chicken with pepper. In a resealable plastic bag, dredge the chicken in the flour and shake off excess.
    • In a large skillet, melt the margarine and oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 3 minutes. When chicken is browned, flip and cook other side for 3 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
