Yield:  4 Servings

Serving size: 4 oz chicken with 1/4 cup mushroom sauce

Ingredients

• 4 chicken cutlets (4 ounces each)
• Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
• 12 ounces crimini mushrooms, quartered
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons capers, with juice

Directions

Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil and warm briefly, then add chicken and cook until nicely browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and cover.

In the same pan, warm the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add a single layer of mushrooms and cook, without stirring, for about 5 minutes or until mushrooms become red-brown on one side. Flip mushrooms, add garlic and cook another 2 minutes. Add wine and scrape up any browned bits in the pan. Bring to a boil and add stock, then return heat until it is bubbling nicely. Slice 4 very thin slices of lemon and add to the pan along with the juice from half of the lemon. Add capers and continue cooking sauce till it becomes a glaze, about 2 more minutes. Add the chicken to the sauce and heat through, then serve.
