This is one of my favorite chicken recipes. Not only is it delicious but only 163 calories.
Ingredients
1/4 cup white all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp black pepper
20 Oz 4-5 oz thighs trimmed uncooked skinless boneless chicken thigh(s)
2 tsp olive oil
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 Tbsp drained capers
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Combine flour and pepper on a sheet of wax paper. Coat chicken with flour mixture.
- 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.
- 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.
- Divide chicken evenly among 4 plates. Drizzle with sauce.
- Serving size: 1 chicken thigh and 1½ Tbsp sauce
