• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

5 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (divided)

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 1/4 cups chicken stock

1/4 cup dry white wine

3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 tablespoons heavy cream

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

1/4 cup capers (drained)

Directions

Season chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Dredge chicken in 4 tablespoons flour until evenly coated.

Heat canola oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.

Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 4-5 minutes per side; set aside. Reduce heat to medium low.

Whisk in remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.

Gradually whisk in chicken stock, wine and lemon juice. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, parsley and capers; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Return chicken to the skillet.

Serve immediately.
