Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit.

Roasting Lemon

  • Slice each lemon into 6 slices. Place on baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and roast for 25 minutes.

Breading the Chicken

  • Slice chicken breast in half. Season with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour. Shake off excess flour.

Cooking The Chicken

  • Use a 12-inch large skillet and heat oil. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown. About 3-5 minutes on each side.
  • Add capers, olives, and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and add butter. Continue to simmer until the sauce begins to thicken. About 7-10 minutes. Check chicken for doneness (internal temperature must at least be 165° Fahrenheit).
  • Add roasted lemon. Serve over pasta of choice.
