Instructions

1
|
Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken breasts with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a 1/2-inch thickness.
2
|
Season both sides of chicken breasts with cayenne, salt, and black pepper; dredge lightly in flour and shake off any excess.
3
|
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken in the pan, reduce heat to medium, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
4
|
Cook capers in reserved oil, smashing them lightly to release brine, until warmed through, about 30 seconds. Pour white wine into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
5
|
Stir lemon juice, water, and butter into the reduced wine mixture; cook and stir continuously to form a thick sauce, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir parsley through the sauce.
6
|
Return chicken breasts to the pan and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with sauce spooned over the top.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Perfectly Thin Cutlets 🔪
    Butterfly and pound chicken breasts to an even 1/4-inch thickness to ensure uniform cooking and maximize crispy flour coating.
  • Flour Dredging Technique 🥣
    Pat chicken completely dry before dredging in flour, and shake off excess to create a light, crisp exterior that won't become gummy.
  • Sauce Emulsion Magic 🧈
    Whisk cold butter into the pan sauce off the heat in small pieces to create a silky, emulsified sauce that clings perfectly to the chicken.
  • Capers Crushing Trick 💥
    Lightly crush capers before adding to the sauce to release their briny flavor and distribute more evenly throughout the dish.
  • Wine Selection Wisdom 🍷
    Use a dry white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc that you'd actually enjoy drinking to enhance the sauce's depth of flavor.
