Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 thinly-sliced thinly-sliced boneless skinless chicken breast halves
salt and pepper
4 teaspoons whole wheat flour, divided
1 medium shallot, minced
2 tablespoons drained capers
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
Directions:

2. Lay chicken in skillet; cook 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown, gently pressing down on breast to ensure equal browning. Reduce heat to medium. Turn breasts; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove breasts to a serving platter.
3. Reduce heat to low; add shallots and capers to skillet. Cook 30 seconds, stirring. Add broth and juice, cook 1 minute, until incorporated and thickened, stirring. Stir in parsley, pour sauce over chicken. Serve immediately.
