1

Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise (butterfly then cut in half) to make 4 thinner cutlets. Trim off any fat.

2

Season the chicken generously with salt & pepper and sprinkle with garlic powder. Coat the chicken in flour.

3

Add 2 tablespoons of the butter plus the olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat.

4

Once the pan is hot, cook the chicken pieces for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden.

5

Transfer the chicken to a plate.

6

Take the pan off the heat and add the chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and capers to the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits.

7

Stir in the cream and return the pan to the heat. Once it's bubbling again, add the chicken back into the pan.

8

Cook for another 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has reduced to your liking (you may need to turn down the heat a bit if it's bubbling furiously). If the sauce thickens too much, add more broth.

9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and/or parmesan cheese if desired.
