Wow yourself and your family when you bring this dish to the table in under 20 minutes. Its complex flavors are Italian-inspired and fresh enough for any time of year. Its brilliant foil is the absence of salt, which it doesn't need because the briny capers and lemon juice pair with the chicken broth to make a sauce that has all the flavor it needs! Serve over a bed of wilted Swiss chard for spinach and some brown rice or pasta, anything to soak up the delicious juices. So pretty in the pan, this dish is nice enough for a dinner party and fast enough for your smallest weeknight dinner window.
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 20 oz uncooked skinless boneless chicken thighs, (4 5-oz. thighs), trimmed
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1½ tbsp capers drained
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
  1. Combine flour and pepper on a sheet of wax paper. Coat chicken with flour mixture.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken to skillet and cook, turning once, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Add broth to skillet and bring to boil, stirring to scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until broth is reduced slightly, about 3 minutes. Return chicken to skillet. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until chicken is heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and capers. Sprinkle with parsley.
  4. Divide chicken evenly among 4 plates. Drizzle with sauce.
  5. Serving Size: 1 chicken thigh and 1½ tbsp sauce.

Notes
Linguine or fettuccine makes a perfect accompaniment to this saucy dish.
