instructions
    1

    Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

    3

    In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze, cooking for about 2 minutes.

    4

    Add the capers and juice from the lemon, then let it simmer for another 2 minutes.

    5

    Stir in the heavy cream and let it cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

    6

    Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it well with the creamy sauce. Cook for 2 more minutes.

    7

    Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
