Chicken And Capers Piccata

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise so you have 8 thin cutlets
black pepper to taste
3 Tbsp whole-wheat or almond flour
3 Tbsp cooking oil
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 Tbsp capers
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Season chicken to taste with black pepper.
Put the flour in a plastic food bag, add the chicken cutlets, and shake to coat.
Put a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the cooking oil, and when pan sizzles, add the cutlets, browning both sides (about 3 minutes each side or until nicely browned.)
Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the lemon juice and broth, bring to a gentle boil, stirring to bring up the fried pieces from bottom of skillet; turn heat to low and add the capers; stir.
Arrange the chicken evenly into the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove and sprinkle parsley over chicken.
Serve by putting chicken on plate and pour sauce over chicken.
You can serve 2 cutlets on each plate to feed 4 a full meal, or 1 cutlet on each plate to serve 8 a light lunch.
May be served over a bed of mixed greens to stretch your low carb meal.
