Ingredients

Instructions

  • Combine the almond flour, grated parmesan, chicken seasoning, and salt and pepper in a bowl large enough to dredge the chicken.
  • Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil over both sides of the chicken. Dredge the chicken in the almond flour mixture.
  • Heat a skillet on medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.
  • Add the chicken to the pan. Fry both sides of the chicken until each side has browned and the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees. About 3-4 minutes on each side.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of butter to the pan with the garlic, still on medium-high heat. Allow the butter to melt and become brown.
  • Deglaze the pan by adding the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers, and by scraping up the brown bits that have formed in the pan (there's so much flavor here).
  • Once the sauce boils, adjust the temperature to medium-low and allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes. The sauce should thicken some.
  • Return the chicken to the pan. Sprinkle with parsley.
  • Cool before serving.

Notes

In the photos for this recipe, I used shredded parmesan. I believe finely grated works best.
You can also use an egg to bread the chicken instead of olive oil
If you would like to reduce the calories in this dish you can use less butter and omit the olive oil that is coated on the chicken before dredging. Using the olive oil works better to adhere the chicken in my opinion.
If you would like more sauce in your dish, add more chicken broth and/or white wine.
