Servings: 4
Active Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Roasted lemons
3 medium lemons, thinly sliced and seeded
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 tsp salt
--> Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, (about 1 lb total), trimmed
1/8 tsp salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp drained capers, rinsed
2 tsp butter
3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley, divided
1. To prepare roasted lemons: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a
baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange lemon slices in a single
layer on it. Brush the lemon slices with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle
with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Roast the lemons until slightly dry and beginning to brown around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, prepare chicken: Cover chicken with plastic wrap and pound
with a rolling pin or heavy skillet until flattened to about 1/2 inch
thick. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Place
flour in a shallow dish and dredge the chicken to coat both sides; shake
off excess (discard remaining flour).
3. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add
broth and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in capers.
Boil until the liquid is reduced to syrup consistency, 5 to 8 minutes,
turning the chicken halfway. Add the roasted lemons, butter, 2 tablespoons
parsley and more pepper, if desired; simmer until the butter melts and
the chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter.
Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and serve.
Make Ahead Tip:
Cover and refrigerate the roasted lemons (Step 1) for up to 2 days.
