Spicy Cajun Chicken With Capers And Lemons - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup unbleached flour
    1 tablespoon cajun seasoning, to taste (I like the spices used in Cajun Style Oven Fries or any good homemade Cajun spice mix)
    1 teaspoon paprika
    4 skinless chicken breasts, pounded to about 1/3-inch
    salt and pepper
    1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
    3/4 cup chicken stock
    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    2 tablespoons capers, drained
    fresh parsley (to garnish)
Preparation
    In shallow bowl combine the flour, Cajun seasoning mix and paprika. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
    Dip the chicken into the flour mixture to coat completely.
    Heat the olive oil in a heavy, non-stick pan on medium-high heat. Saute the chicken until brown on both sides and cooked through, approximately 4 minutes per side.
    Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and vent with a piece of foil on top.
    Next add the broth, lemon juice and capers to the skillet and bring to boil, scraping up the brown bits from bottom of skillet.
    Boil the mixture until the sauce thickens slightly and can coat a spoon, about 5 minutes or so. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
    Spoon sauce over chicken and serve. Garnish with fresh parsley.
