Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 c. flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 c. lowfat milk
  • 3/4 c. very dry white wine
  • 1-2 fresh lemons
  • 1-2 tsp capers, optional

Directions

  1. In large pan, heat butter.
  2. While butter is melting, combine flour, salt and pepper in small bowl.
  3. Dip each piece of chicken in lowfat milk; shake off excess. Dredge chicken in flour mix and add in to fry pan. (I like to cut chicken breasts in half before coating.)
  4. Saute chicken in butter over medium to medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, turning often.
  5. Add in more butter as needed. (Be careful turning chicken so as not to break off any of the flour coating.)
  6. Remove chicken from pan and place on platter. Keep chicken hot while making the sauce.
  7. Turn heat to medium high and deglaze with the wine, stirring to get all of the brown bits off the bottom of the pan.
  8. Turn heat to medium low and continue to cook sauce, stirring frequently.
  9. Squeeze juice of 1/2 lemon through cheesecloth into sauce (add in capers at this point if using them) and continue to stir till sauce has thickened slightly.
  10. (Note: Sauce should be tasted frequently, and more wine or possibly lemon can be added as necessary. If sauce does not thicken properly, add in a little bit of flour and continue to stir.)
  11. When sauce is ready, add in chicken back to the pan and turn to coat.
