2 large chicken breast
1/2 tsp salt

1 cup dry white wine

Steps

Slice each chicken breast into two cutlets and pound them to an even thickness.
Season the cutlets with salt and pepper, then coat them lightly with flour.
Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 4 minutes per side, until it reaches 165 F.
Transfer the chicken to a plate, pour in the wine and lemon juice, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in the capers, salt, pepper, and parsley, then return the chicken to the skillet for 2 minutes.
