  • 03
    Cook chicken pieces for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden.
  • 04
    Remove chicken from skillet and place on a plate while the sauce is being made.
  • 05
    Deglaze the skillet with the chicken broth/wine, scraping up the brown bits, and then add lemon juice, lemon zest, and capers (discard the brine) to the skillet.
  • 06
    Add the remaining butter to skillet and cook for about a minute.
  • 07
    Add the chicken back into the skillet and cook chicken for another 5 minutes or until cooked through (I usually flip the chicken half way through the 5 minutes).
  • 08
    Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (optional).
