Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken cutlets, or thinly sliced chicken breasts (I get my organic, free-range chicken here)
- sea salt and black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (I use this brand) code kyndraholley for $5 off
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 20 mixed color grape or cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Season the chicken generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
- Reduce the heat to medium and to the same pan, add the butter and the capers. Cook until the capers are hot and sizzling.
- Add the chicken stock and lemon juice to the pan, and using a rubber spatula, scrape up and mix in any bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Boil until the sauce has reduced by one third.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the tomatoes to the pan. Cook until soft and slightly blistered, about 3 minutes.
- Add the chicken back to the pan and spoon the sauce over top. Garnish with fresh parsley.
