written by Low Carb Way Of Life | January 17, 2024

Ingredients:

1 pound thin sliced chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
ΒΌ cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons capers

Directions:

Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.

Heat the avocado oil in a large, heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat.

Add the chicken and cook through, flipping halfway through cooking, about 8 minutes.

Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Add the chicken broth and butter to the skillet and bring to a boil. Let the chicken broth reduce by half, about 5 minutes.

Add the lemon juice and cream to the skillet and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.

Add the capers to the sauce and stir to combine.

Return the chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Cook 1 more minute to rewarm the chicken. Serve immediately.
