I will show you my go-to recipe for achieving truly restaurant-quality results in your own kitchen.

=== 🍽🍸🥩 RECIPE ===
8 ounces (226g) thin chicken cutlets
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour for dredging
1/2 lemon sliced thin
Juice of 1 lemon
1 clove garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
4 ounces (120ml) dry white wine
8 ounces (240ml) chicken stock
3 tablespoons butter
Salt & Pepper

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

While the oil heats, season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper, then lightly dredge in the flour. When the oil is hot, place chicken in the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

Once cooked, remove the chicken to a platter and set aside. Add the lemon slices, garlic and capers to the skillet and let them cook for a minute. Add the lemon juice and white wine, bring to a simmer and let reduce slightly. Add the cutlets to the sauce for 2 minutes, turning to coat them in the sauce. This will help thicken the sauce.

Transfer the cutlets to a platter. Cut the heat, then whisk in the butter and parsley. Taste for seasoning. Pour over the chicken cutlets.
