Ingredients
-
1/2 cup unbleached flour
-
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning, to taste (I like the spices used in Cajun Style Oven Fries or any good homemade Cajun spice mix)
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
salt and pepper
-
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
-
3/4 cup chicken stock
-
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
-
2 tablespoons capers, drained
-
fresh parsley (to garnish)
-
4 skinless chicken breasts, pounded to about 1/3-inch
Instructions
- In shallow bowl combine the flour, Cajun seasoning mix and paprika. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Dip the chicken into the flour mixture to coat completely.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy, non-stick pan on medium-high heat. Saute the chicken until brown on both sides and cooked through, approximately 4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and vent with a piece of foil on top.
- Next add the broth, lemon juice and capers to the skillet and bring to boil, scraping up the brown bits from bottom of skillet.
- Boil the mixture until the sauce thickens slightly and can coat a spoon, about 5 minutes or so. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spoon sauce over chicken and serve. Garnish with fresh parsley.
