Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts - 300 grams
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Almond flour - 1/4 cup (30 grams)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Unsalted butter - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Chicken broth - 1/2 cup (120 ml)
• Fresh lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Capers - 2 tablespoons, rinsed
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
2. Dredge each chicken breast in almond flour, shaking off any excess.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Add the capers and return the chicken to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.
7. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
