Directions

  1. Cut chicken in half lengthwise. On a hard surface, pound chicken into thin cutlets. Season flour with salt and pepper, and coat chicken (shake off any excess flour).
  2. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in nonstick pan. Cook chicken for 8 minutes, flipping halfway. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Add chicken broth, water, lemon juice, 1 Tbsp olive oil, and butter to pan. Stir until butter melts. Add zucchini, parsley, and beans (if using); cook 5 minutes. Add chicken to pan and cook 2 minutes.
  4. Handy Hint: Serve with 1/2 cup of whole grain pasta or Arborio rice, if desired. Use pickled lupini beans instead of traditional capers for less salt and more fiber.
