Lemon Chicken with Capers

Here is the first recipe of the challenge. The whole family likes it even the kids. And I love that it tastes a little naughty but is really pretty good for you.

Lemon Chicken with Capers

3-4 Chicken breasts
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp pepper
5 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp capers

Put the olive oil in a sauce pan and heat on medium heat. While it is heating, pound the chicken breast to 1/4 inch. Combine flour, paprika, and pepper on a plate and dredge the chicken in the combination. Once dredged, place chicken in the oil . Cook 3 mins per side or until cooked through with a golden brown. Watch your heat so that it is not too hot. When chicken is cooked, remove from pan to a serving plate. Add chicken broth to oil and stir to remove bits from the bottom of the pan. Then add the lemon juice and capers heat until it is heated through. Pour on top of chicken and serve.

**I serve with rice so that the sauce and be added to the rice as well.

Enjoy!!!

Linda, this looks really good! It always helps to have good food with healthy ingredients. I'm actually looking through trying to find some good things for the holidays. I make apple bread, but that's not great (it doesn't have a lot of calories, but there are plenty of carbs - probably why I like it so much). Do you have good snack/treat recipes for things to have around the house when you really need something sweet?

Ooohhh...I also just remembered that Anne has a phenomenal recipe for Rosemary Chicken. Anne - do you think you could post that for us to share? It's really delicious and there's hardly anything in it aside from the chicken!
