To prepare a delicious chicken breast recipe with caper sauce, we will start by preparing the ingredients. Choose a boneless chicken breast and make sure it is fresh. Cut it into medium-thick slices so that it cooks evenly. Season the chicken breast slices with salt and freshly ground pepper to give them a savory taste. Then, coat each slice in flour so that it is evenly covered, which will help achieve a delicious crust during frying. In a large skillet, add some pieces of butter and a few tablespoons of oil. Heat the mixture over medium heat, being careful not to burn the butter. When the butter has completely melted and the mixture is hot, carefully add the chicken breast slices. Let them fry for about 5 minutes on one side until they become golden. Then, turn them over with a spatula and cook them on the other side for another 5 minutes. Once the meat is cooked evenly, remove it from the skillet and place it on a platter, covering it with aluminum foil to keep it warm. Now, we will prepare the sauce. I prefer not to use the leftover fat in the skillet if it has become too burnt, so I add a few more pieces of butter and a little oil. After the butter has melted, add two teaspoons of flour (or cornstarch, if you prefer) and mix well to form a roux. Let it cook for one minute, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Then, gradually add about 50 ml of water or, even better, chicken broth, stirring continuously. After the sauce starts to thicken, add a splash of white wine, and if the wine is sweeter, you can also add a little lemon juice, depending on the desired taste. Don't forget to add the capers, which you washed beforehand to remove excess salt. Stir the sauce and let it simmer on low heat for a few minutes for the flavors to combine perfectly. Finally, add the chicken breast slices back into the skillet, covering them with the delicious sauce. Let them heat together for 2-3 minutes. Serve the chicken breast with caper sauce alongside a side of fresh vegetables or mashed potatoes for a balanced and flavorful meal. This recipe is not only easy to prepare but will surely impress family and friends with its refined taste. Enjoy your meal!
