Ingredients

  • 3-4 boned and skinned chicken cutlets
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • thinly sliced lemon
  • finely chopped parsley
  • drained capers

Method

  • With a flat meat pounder, gently pound the chicken cutlets to make them even thickness.
  • Combine the flour, salt, and pepper and dredge the cutlets.
  • Using a large skillet with full surface area, heat the butter and oil, and when it is very hot but not brown, add the chicken in one layer.
  • Cook over relatively high heat until golden brown on one side.
  • Turn and cook until golden brown on the other.
  • Carefully pour off the fat from the skillet, if desired, by holding the chicken back with a spoon or a lid.
  • Return the skillet to the heat and add the wine.
  • Cook briefly until it starts to evaporate stirring to dissolve any brown particles in the skillet.
  • Add the lemon juice and capers.
  • Arrange chicken cutlets on the plate or platter, and drizzle sauce over.
  • Snip with the parsley for a garnish.
