Nothing more than chicken, parmesan, butter, capers and lemon but oh so delicious!

  • serves Serves 2
  • time 20mins

Method

  1. 1. Mix together the flour and Parmesan cheese in a small baking dish and season generously with sea salt and ground black pepper.
  2. 2. Place the chicken between two sheets of parchment paper and bash gently with a meat hammer to flatten slightly.
  3. 3. Place the oil and 3 tbsp of butter in a large frying pan and place over a medium high heat.
  4. 4. Dredge the chicken pieces in flour on all sides, shaking off any excess and once the butter has melted and bubbles, add it to the pan.
  5. 5. Fry 3-4 minutes either side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
  6. 6. With the pan still over heat, pour in the white wine, lemon juice and capers and bring to a steady simmer. Continue to bubble away for a couple of minutes until reduced by half and then whisk in the last of the butter.
  7. 7. Serve the chicken drizzled generously with the sauce and sprinkle with parsley.
