Ingredients

4 pieces chicken breasts

¼ cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons capers

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon butter


Directions

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and add the floured chicken breasts to the pan.

3.

Cook the chicken breasts for about 6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

4.

Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside, then lower the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same pan.

5.

Add heavy cream to the skillet and stir in the capers; cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the caper cream sauce over the top to coat evenly.

7.

Serve immediately, garnished with extra capers if desired, and enjoy warm with your favorite side dish.
