Fantastic Chicken Piccata - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded thinly)
    3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
    1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    additional all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1/3 cup dry white wine
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    3/4 cup chicken broth
    1/4 cup capers, drained
    1/4 cup parsley, fresh chopped
Preparation
    Place chicken between 2 large sheets of plastic wrap. Using meat pounder or rolling pin, lightly pound chicken to 1/4-inch thickness.
    Dust chicken with salt and pepper.
    Melt 1 tablespoon butter and mix with 1.5 tablespoons flour in small bowl until smooth, set aside.
    Place flour on a plate and dip chicken into to coat; shake off excess.
    Heat 2 tablespoon oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets. Add 2 chicken breasts to each skillet and cook until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
    Transfer chicken to platter; tent with foil to keep warm.
    Bring wine, lemon juice and broth to boil in 1 skillet over medium-high heat.
    Whisk in butter-flour mixture and boil until sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
    Stir in capers, parsley and remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over chicken and serve with either buttered noodles or risotto.
