Ingredients

  • 6 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons garlic butter
  • 2 tablespoons garlic minced or 1 tablespoon garlic paste
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon vinegar
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice to taste
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons capers drained and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  1. In a nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Stir in the butter until melted and then add the chicken. Cook 5 min to brown and then reduce heat to medium

  2. Turn the chicken and cook about 4-5min more until juice runs clear when pierced. Transfer chicken to a warm dish.
  3. Lower the heat if needed to maintain medium-low to medium heat so as not to scorch the garlic and then add the garlic to the drippings in the skillet.
  4. In a cup, mix the stock, wine, lemon juice, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of flour until smooth. Stir into the mixture in the skillet. Scrape the skillet to incorporate any browned bits from the chicken.
  5. Heat to a boil, boil 1 minute. Stir in the capers and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, simmer until thickened.
  6. Pour the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley and garnish with additional lemon slices.
