Ingredients

  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon light butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup white cooking wine
  • 2 tablespoons capers

Instructions

  • Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Add the almond flour and Parmesan cheese to a shallow dish and mix together.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Lightly coat each piece of chicken in the almond flour mixture and add the chicken to the pan. Cook 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the chicken broth, cooking wine, lemon juice, and capers. Simmer 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and spoon sauce over it. Simmer another 2-3 minutes, then serve.
