Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with lemon pepper, salt, dill weed, and garlic powder.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and increase heat to medium-high. Flip frequently until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a warm serving platter and cover with foil.
- Increase heat to high. Whisk the whipping cream into the skillet, stirring continuously, until thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat, stir in capers, and pour sauce over chicken. Serve immediately.
Notes
Add fresh parsley or thyme for extra flavor.
Substitute ¼ cup cream with white wine for a tangy variation.
Include roasted garlic cloves for richer taste.
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Lightly sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or asparagus can be added to the sauce.
To thicken sauce more, reduce cream longer or add a small cornstarch slurry.
