Step 1
Whisk sauce ingredients: In a small bowl or liquid measuring up, whisk chicken broth, lemon juice + zest, garlic powder, and capers together. Set aside for later.
Step 2
Tenderize the chicken: Then place chicken breasts into a ziplock bag or lay between two pieces of parchment paper. Use a smooth side of a meat hammer or a rolling pin to pound the meat until it's about 1/2 to 1/4 inch thick. Tip: this tenderizes the chicken and also helps it to cook evenly.
Step 3
Dip in flour: Evenly sprinkle salt & pepper over both sides of chicken breasts. Add flour to a shallow bowl and dredge chicken into flour on both sides.
Step 4
Brown chicken: Heat olive oil and 2 Tbsp butter in a large pan. Add floured chicken to pan and cook for 3 minutes on each side (cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken). Chicken should be browned and cooked through. Remove from pan onto another plate.
Step 5
Add sauce and simmer: In the same pan, add 1 Tablespoon of butter and minced garlic. Saute until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add chicken broth and caper mixture to garlic - whisk ingredients together (make sure you scrape the bottom of the pan to get all the chicken flavor). Reduce sauce for about 4-5 minutes, whisk often.
Step 6
Add chicken and serve: Add chicken to pan with sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and parmesan cheese.
