A delicious and healthy Italian chicken dish

2 boneless and skinless chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally (300-400g); you should have 4 pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
~1 cup of flour
Salt + Pepper
Chopped parsley (as garnish)
Sauce:
- 3 cloves of garlic (finely minced)
- The juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1 cup chicken broth

Add some salt and pepper to the chicken and coat the chicken breasts with a thin layer of flour.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the chicken and sear for around 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on how thick they are. Remove the chicken and place aside once cooked.
Add the sauce ingredients into the same pan and simmer for about 3 minutes. Simmer longer for a thicker sauce, or add more water if you want a thinner sauce.
Add back the chicken into the sauce. Top with parsley and enjoy!
