Breaded Chicken Cutlet with Caper Butter Sauce: An Incredible 5-Star Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– ½ cup unsalted butter
– 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
– 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating the incredible Breaded Chicken Cutlet with Caper Butter Sauce involves a few simple steps. Follow this guide for perfect results:

1. Prepare Chicken: Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
2. Season Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In three shallow dishes, place flour in the first dish, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third.
4. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, shaking off excess. Then dip it in the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat ¼ cup of butter over medium heat until melted and hot.
6. Cook Chicken: Add the breaded chicken cutlets to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
7. Make Caper Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter, capers, and lemon juice. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the butter to brown slightly and the capers to become fragrant.
8. Combine: Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, spooning the caper butter sauce over them to coat.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and added freshness.
