Chicken with Lemon-Caper Sauce


A friend made this for us recently. I could not believe how good it was. Definitely restaurant worthy. And so healthy too. The nutrition content is below.

Unfortunately you will have to buy some alcohol to make it. Vermouth is a liquor, in case you didn't know (I didn't).

Ingredients

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 4 (4-ounce) skinned, boned chicken breast halves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/3 cup extra-dry vermouth
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons capers
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

Sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper evenly over chicken. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 6 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. Remove from skillet. Set aside; keep warm.

Add 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, vermouth, lemon juice, and capers to skillet, scraping skillet to loosen browned bits. Cook until reduced to 1/4 cup (about 2 minutes). Stir in parsley. Spoon sauce over chicken.
