Ingredients

  • 4 Chicken thighs boneless and skinless
  • 2 ounces Parmesan cheese finely grated
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • 3 tablespoons Butter divided
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Shallot finely diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
  • 1 cup White wine
  • 3 tablespoons Capers

Instructions

  • Prepare the chicken thighs by trimming off any excess fat. Lay them on a flat surface and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Use a mallet to pound the chicken to approximately ½ inch thickness.
  • Place the finely grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper on a plate and toss together to combine. Press each chicken thigh into the cheese mixture coating it in cheese. Set aside.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet and heat over medium high heat. Once hot add the chicken thighs and cook for approximately 3 minutes on each side, until the outside of golden brown. Set cooked chicken aside.
  • Add the shallots, garlic, capers, and the remaining butter to the skillet and cook for approximately 3 minutes.
  • Add the white wine and lemon juice and continue to cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for 5 minutes before returning the chicken to the skillet and continuing to cook for 5 - 7 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees F.
  • Serve immediately.
