Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup low-sodium organic chicken broth
  • ½ tsp gelatin (preferably from grass-fed cows)
  • 4 pcs raw chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, cut in half lengthwise to create thin cutlets
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (GF) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tbsp ghee (organic grass-fed, if possible)
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp capers (in brine) drained
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Sprinkle broth with gelatin. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle each chicken cutlet on each side with salt and pepper, if desired. Dredge each side in flour. Set aside.
  • Melt ghee in large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add chicken cutlets; cook for 3 minutes on each side. (You might haveto cook the chicken in multiple batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. If that’s necessary, you may need to divide your ghee.) Remove chicken to a plate lined with a paper towel. Set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add lemon juice, broth mixture, and capers; gently boil for 3 to 4 minutes, or until sauce has reduced by half.
  • Return chicken cutlets to skillet; gently boil for 2 minutes on each side, or until liquid in pan has become a thick glaze.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

  • To cut chicken breast into cutlets, place boneless, skinless chicken breast on a cutting board. Hold flat with the palm of your hand. With the opposite hand, use a sharp knife to slice chicken breast lengthwise (horizontally) into two even pieces.
  • There is excess flour in the recipe to make dredging easier. You shouldn’t expect to use all the flour. Discard excess.
