How to make it
- Cook the pasta according to its package and steam the green beans until tender.
- Slice the chicken into even cutlets. Season and lightly coat with flour.
- Heat the oil with one third of the butter in a skillet. Cook chicken in batches, turning once, until a food thermometer in the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a clean plate.
- Add broth, lemon juice and capers to the pan. Simmer briefly, scraping the pan, then stir in the remaining butter.
- Return the cooked chicken to the sauce. Serve with pasta, beans, lemon slices and parsley.
Use a food thermometer: poultry and casseroles to 165°F (74°C); ground beef to 160°F (71°C). Cooking times are estimates.
