Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
16 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup fat-free chicken broth
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Combine flour, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika in a plastic grocery (or large ziplock) bag. Add chicken and shake to coat well. Set aside.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over med-high heat. Shake excess flour from chicken pieces and place in skillet and saute for about 5 minutes, until golden brown. Do not overcook. Remove chicken from pan, and set aside, covered to keep warm.
  • Remove all but 2 Tbsp of fat, retaining browned bits of breading. Stir wine and broth into pan drippings, deglazing the pan.
