Ingredients
Instructions
-
Cut the chicken breasts lengthwise in half or into thirds. Alternatively, purchase thin cuts (or ask your butcher to cut it thin). Season the breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
-
In a large, skillet, heat the butter or ghee on medium/high heat. Add the cutlets one by one. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through. You may need to cook the chicken in batches. Set aside.
-
Reduce the temperature to low. Add more ghee or butter if needed. Saute the mushrooms for about 2 minutes. When the mushrooms are soft, squeeze one lemon into the pan and add the garlic and capers.
-
Simmer and stir for about one minute, then add the lemon slices. Return the chicken and stir to coat it in the sauce and simmer for another minute. Spoon the buttery sauce on top for serving.
