Ingredients
1 lb chicken breasts or drumsticks
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
Flour
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon lemon juice + zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon brined capers
½ cup heavy whipping cream
Parsley, chopped
Freshly grated parmesan cheese
Separate for plating: 1 cup cooked rice
Directions
- Thinly slice the chicken breasts into cutlets and season generously with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken in flour.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the KitchenAid® NITRO Carbon Steel Skillet over medium heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, cook the chicken pieces for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Take the skillet off the heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter, chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, and capers to the skillet.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream and return the skillet to medium heat. Once it's bubbling again, add the chicken back into the skillet.
- Cook for another 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has reduced to your liking. If the sauce thickens too much, add more broth.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and parmesan cheese, then serve over rice.
