Ingredients

  • 2 large lemons juiced (about ⅓ cup)
  • ¼ cup King Arthur gluten-free blend flour
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 (4 oz) boneless chicken cutlets 1 lb thin cut or small breasts
  • 4 oz finely diced pancetta
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoon capers drained

Instructions

  • Squeeze lemons for juice (you'll want about ⅓ cup) and set aside.
  • In a large zip top bag, combine GF flour, salt and pepper.
  • Shake until blended.
  • Drop chicken cutlets into the bag, one at a time, and shake until coated.
  • Shake to remove excess flour.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the pancetta until fat is rendered and bacon is crispy.
  • Remove pancetta from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the butter and oil to the skillet and cook until melted, then add chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly golden on each side.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low; add broth, pancetta, lemon juice and capers.
  • Simmer until sauce is thickened and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve over rice, pasta, or mashed cauliflower, or mashed potatoes
