Chicken Saute with Lemon-Caper Sauce

Ingredients:

• 4 (1/4 lb.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to a 1/8-inch thickness
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp. + 1 tsp. unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. drained capers
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano

Makes 4 Servings (1 piece of chicken with generous 1 tbsp. sauce)

1. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper.
2. Melt the 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes on each side. Add the broth, lemon juice, capers, and oregano; bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer, turning the chicken once to coat with the sauce, until the chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes.
3. Remove the skillet from the heat and swirl in the remaining 1 teaspoon butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW Ultimate Chicken Cookbook. This is a nice meal that's quick and easy and your family & friends will literally eat this up. This is what they would serve at a restaurant but if you make this dish at home, it's healthier for you and you know what's in the dish. if you want to serve this dish to company, serve this dish over wide egg noodles. Serve 1/2 cup egg noodles alongside the chicken for an extra 3 points per serving and it will be delicious. I added the garlic because garlic always makes everything better.
