Sauteed Chicken with Olives, Capers and Roasted Lemons

 

A marvelous dish that's full of flavors...
 

¼ cup 

 

extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

 

2 medium 

 

lemons, sliced ¼-inch thick

 

 

 

kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

Four 6-ounce 

 

skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

 

¼ cup 

 

all-purpose flour

 

½ cup 

 

pitted green Sicilian or Spanish olives, sliced

 

2 Tbs 

 

drained capers

 

1 cup 

 

chicken stock or low-sodium broth

 

3 Tbs 

 

unsalted butter, cut into small dice

 

2 Tbs 

 

chopped flat-leaf parsley

 

 

1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil on the parchment, then arrange the lemon slices in a single layer. Drizzle the lemons lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 20 minute, until the lemons begin to brown around the edges.

2

In a deep medium skillet, heat the remaining ¼ cup of oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and dust with the flour, shaking off the excess. Cook the chicken over high heat, turning once, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add olives, capers and stock and bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until stock is reduced by about two-thirds, about 5 minutes. Add the roasted lemons, butter and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, and simmer just until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 minute.

3

Transfer the chicken to plates and spoon the sauce on top.
