Instructions

Step 1 – Combine the flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on a large plate. Set aside.
Step 2 – Cut each chicken breast into 3 thinner slices. Place between saran wrap and pound very thin (about ¼ inch thick).
Step 3 – Pat the chicken dry and dredge each side in the flour mixture. Tap off excess.
Step 4 – Heat 3 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms. Adjust heat or add a splash of olive oil as needed. Set chicken aside and turn off heat.
Step 5 – Carefully wipe the pan, leaving a few brown bits. Set heat to medium and let bubble gently for 4–5 minutes until reduced, scraping the pan with a silicone spatula.
Step 6 – Add the capers, chicken broth, and 2 Tbsp lemon juice. Stir to combine.
Step 7 – Add the chicken back to the pan along with any juices. Spoon sauce over the chicken, cover partially, and cook for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 8 – Reduce heat to low. Add 2 Tablespoons cold butter and let it melt into the sauce. Tilt the pan to distribute the sauce and spoon it over the chicken. Remove from heat.
