Creating Chicken Piccata is as easy as following these straightforward instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin, about 1/2 inch thick.
2. Season and Dredge: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
3. Heat Oil and Butter: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until hot.
4. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
5. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the lemon juice, chicken broth, and capers. Bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan.
6. Thicken the Sauce: Let the sauce simmer for about 3-5 minutes until slightly reduced.
7. Finish the Sauce: Remove the skillet from heat and whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and the sauce is smooth.
8. Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the sauce.
9. Serve: Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley.

Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a delicious Chicken Piccata ready to enjoy in no time!
