Directions

1) Lightly pound chickent to 1/2-inch thick. Season evenly on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour to coat the surface and shake off any excess flour.

2) Heat 2 - 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until just beginning to smoke. Add 1/2 of the chicken and cook, undisturbed, until browned and easily released from the skillet, 2 ½ to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from the skillet. Add 1-2  tablespoon oil to the drippings and repeat the cooking process with remaining chicken. Reserve all chicken on a plate.

3) Reduce heat to medium if needed, add remaining oil to skillet. Add wine and capers and stir, scraping to release any browned bits from the skillet; bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes to slightly reduce. Add chicken stock, lemon juice, and lemon zest; stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.

4) Return chicken to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally in the sauce, until chicken is no longer pink in the center, the juices run clear, and the sauce has thickened slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.

5) Remove from heat and sprinkle with parsley to serve.
