This dish offers the wonderful fresh flavors of tart lemon and salty capers combined in a rich sauce of white wine and chicken broth.

Why Try? This is speed cooking at its best — 10 ingredients with just a few steps. For even a faster dish you can start with prepared chicken scaloppini from grocer’s meat case.

Foodie Byte: Partially frozen filets are easier to slice. Be sure not to crowd the chicken in the skillet as it will steam instead of sauté.

  1. Place chicken breasts on cutting board and slice in half horizontally, forming 8 thin filets.
