To buy
- 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons capers
From your shelf
- 4 cutlets Perdue italian style chicken breast cutlets
Staples
- 2 tablespoons oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches if needed, lay the 4 cutlets in the pan without crowding, and cook until the breading is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F [74°C], about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the hot cutlets. Scatter 2 tablespoons capers and a pinch of salt and pepper over the top, then serve the remaining lemon wedges on the side.
Note Swap the capers for diced fresh tomato and a basil leaf if you prefer. Leftovers keep three days refrigerated and reheat gently in a warm oven. Serve alongside a simple green salad or roasted vegetables, or rice to make the meal stretch.
