THIS is a flavorful low-fat, low sodium dish. With the lemon juice ingredient, the salt isn’t missed. I usually serve this with rice or pasta, but it takes longer to cook either one of these than it does the chicken!

Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 garlic clove, minced
1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons capers
1-1/2 teaspoons butter
2 thin lemon slices

Directions

Flatten chicken to 1/2-in. thickness. In a large plastic resealable bag, combine the flour, salt and pepper; add the chicken, one piece at a time. Seal bag and toss to coat.
In a small skillet, brown chicken in oil for 2-3 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
Add wine and garlic to the pan; cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add the broth, lemon juice and capers. Bring to a boil; cook for 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in butter and lemon slices. Return chicken to the pan; heat through. Yield: 2 servings.

This Recipe was SO quick and Easy! I love it! Tried it on a whim tonight and it was AMAZING! I used chicken tenderloins and doubled the recipe. My 9 year old declared it a Keeper recipe. :)

My whole family loves this recipe! I have made it several times. Only problem is there is 6 of us so I have to make it in two batches.... BUT well worth the effort!
