Method

Place chicken cutlets between 2 sheets of parchment, waxed paper or plastic wrap. With a mallet or rolling pin, gently pound cutlets to an even 1/4-inch thickness.

In a shallow bowl or pie plate, combine flour, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Dip chicken in flour, coat all sides and shake off excess.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Carefully place chicken in hot oil and cook until browned and cook through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a clean plate and cover to keep warm.

Add capers to pan and cook for 1 minute until brown on edges and slightly plumped. Add wine and chicken broth and bring to a brisk simmer, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Add wine and chicken broth and bring to a brisk simmer, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes.

Remove pan from heat and stir in parsley and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and lemon juice.

Divide chicken among plates, top with capers and drizzle with sauce.
