Chicken cutlets in lemon and white wine sauce

 

This simple chicken dish is very popular both at my home and in my cooking demonstrations. I have been cooking it hundreds of times, but it is still one of my favorite dishes.
 cutlets in lemon and white wine sauce

  

1 Lb. chicken breast
Flour
½ cup dry white wine
The juice of two large lemons
Capers
6 garlic cloves
Fresh parsley
Extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt

Cut the chicken breast lengthwise in ¼ inch thick slices. Pound each slice of chicken breast inside two pieces of plastic wrap until the chicken gets very thin. Repeat for all the other slices.
Add salt and pepper and flour the chicken slices.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the whole garlic cloves and heat. Add the chicken and let brown on one side. Turn and repeat. Reserve the chicken in a warm serving tray and retain drippings from pan for next step.
Add wine and lemon to pan drippings; add capers and fresh minced parsley. Cook for one minute and pour over the chicken. Serve immediately and garnish with parsley.
