Ingredients
  

  • 5 Chicken Breast - pounded to 3/4” even thickness
  • 2 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 4 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • 0.25 cup Capers - drained
  • 2 Lemon - de-pitted
  • 0.5 cup Cherry Tomato
  • 0.13 cup White Cooking Wine
  • 2 teaspoon Flat Leaf Parsley - finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Sprinkle all sides of the chicken fillets with the salt
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a stainless skillet over medium-high heat
  • Add the chicken and cook until opaque halfway through, 4 to 5 minutes
  • Add the wine
  • Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and, once melted, flip the fillets and finish cooking through
  • Transfer the chicken to plates
  • Add the capers to the hot skillet and let them sizzle for 30 seconds
  • Next add in the tomatoes and parsley and 1 tablespoon of butter
  • Squeeze the juice from both lemons over the capers and stir everything to combine
  • Cook for another 30 seconds or so, then drizzle the mixture over the chicken
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

If your capers are salt-packed rinse them, if brine-packed, drain them. Fish is also another nice option instead of chicken. Choose a light fish such as flounder, red snapper, tilapia or rainbow trout.
