Ingredients
- 2 skinless chicken breasts
- olive oil
- 2 tbsp capers, rinsed
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 lemon, ½ zested and juiced, ½ sliced
- 200ml chicken stock
- ½ a bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- green salad and cauliflower rice, to serve
Method
- STEP 1
Cut the chicken breasts through the middle lengthways, to open them out like a book. Put them between 2 pieces of clingfilm and bash them with a rolling pin to 1cm thick.
- STEP 2
Heat 1 tsp oil in a frying pan. Fry the flattened chicken breasts for 4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan, season and leave to rest under foil.
- STEP 3
Add the capers and garlic and fry for a minute, then add the lemon juice, zest and stock. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Add the chicken back to the pan, with the lemon slices and parsley, and spoon over the sauce. Serve with a green salad and cauliflower rice.
