Number Of Ingredients 12

4 (5- to 6-oz.) chicken cutlets
1/2 cup (2 oz.) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
6 tablespoons (3 oz.) salted butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons brined capers, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Hot cooked pasta

Steps:

1. Place each chicken cutlet between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using a rolling pin or flat side of a meat mallet. Stir together flour, salt, and pepper. Dip each cutlet in egg white, and dredge in flour mixture, shaking off excess. 2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add 2 cutlets, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate. Wipe skillet clean, and repeat process with 2 tablespoons butter and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and remaining 2 cutlets. Discard drippings; do not wipe skillet clean. 3. Add broth, lemon juice, and capers to skillet. Bring to a boil over high, stirring and scraping bottom of skillet to loosen browned bits. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, whisking occasionally, 5 minutes. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk in parsley. Spoon sauce over chicken, and serve immediately with pasta.
