Capers, artichoke hearts, lemon juice, and dry white wine combine to create this tangy chicken meal.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless
- 6 tbls flour, divided
- 1 tsp black pepper

Directions
- In shallow dish, combine 4 tablespoons flour and black pepper. Dredge chicken breast halves in mixture.
- In large skillet over high heat, melt ¼ cup butter (1/2 stick). Add green onions; sauté over medium heat until softened, about 2 minutes. Add chicken to pan; cook, turning once, until lightly golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pan and keep warm.
