- 1 Cup Organic Chicken Broth
- Juice from 2 Organic Lemons
- 1/2 cup Organic Heavy Cream (you can substitute half and half)
- 1/4 cup Capers, drained and rinsed
Instructions
- Begin by slicing the chicken breasts in half if they are thick. Place each piece between wax paper and pound so they are thin and even
- Season each breast with salt and pepper
- Heat the oil in a large pan over med/high heat and add the butter. Once the butter is sizzling, add a few chicken breasts to the pan – be careful not to overcrowd the pan
- Cook until they are no longer pink in the middle (depending on thickness this could take between 4-6 min)
- Remove the chicken to a plate, continue until all chicken is cooked
- Turn the heat to medium/low. Carefully add the broth to the pan and scrape up any bits left. Add the juice from the lemons, heavy cream and capers. It should quickly come to a boil, turn the heat down and let it simmer for a few minutes
- Return the chicken to the pan and heat through for 2 minutes
