    A delicious chicken recipe that is perfect for mid-week dining yet elegant enough to serve for company.

    Ingredients

    • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
    • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper, or to taste
    • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, or to taste
    • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed, or to taste
    • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
    • 4 tablespoons butter
    • 3/4 cup whipping cream
    • 4 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed

    Directions

    1. Split chicken breast lengthwise to create 6 thin breasts. Lay breasts close together on the cutting board.
    2. In a small bowl, combine the seasonings. Sprinkle chicken breasts on both sides with garlic mixture. With the palm of your hand, press the seasoning mixture into the meat.
    3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place breasts in skillet, and increase heat to medium-high. Turn chicken frequently, until brown, about 5-8 minutes. For even browning, rotate chicken as well as turning as it becomes a beautiful golden-brown. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue to cook, turning and rotating until breasts are cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes longer. Remove chicken to a warm serving platter, cover with foil and hold in a warm oven.
    4. To the now empty skillet, add cream and increase heat to medium-high. Using a flat wooden spoon continuously stir cream, scraping up any browned bits in the bottom of the skillet. Continue to cook until the cream is reduced to sauce consistency, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in capers.
    5. Remove chicken from oven, uncover and pour cream sauce from the pan over breasts. Serve immediately.
