Sautéed Chicken Thighs With Lemon and Capers - Ww 5 image

Based on a recipe from the November 28-December 4, 2010 WeightWatchers weekly reader. It says, "The chicken is tender and juicy and the sauce has a great salty-savory thing going on. A nice, easy recipe any time of year." My DH and I both love the caper and lemon flavor combination. Yields 2 chicken thighs, ¾ cup string beans, and about 1 ½ tablespoons sauce per serving.

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray, 1 spray
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, about 8 thighs
1 cup canned chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons capers

Steps:

  • Spray a 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat.
  • In small bowl, whisk together flour with pepper. Coat chicken with flour.
  • Brown chicken in a single layer in prepared skillet until golden on bottom, about 6 minutes. Turn chicken and brown on the other side, about 4 more minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Note: you may have to brown the chicken in two batches.
