- Step 1: On a plate or shallow bowl, mix together the flour, cheese, salt, and pepper, then coat the chicken in the flour mixture well. Dust off any excess and set aside.
- Step 2: In a large fry pan or shallow pot over medium-high heat, add the oil and then the floured chicken, cook for 3-4 minutes each side to get some colour on the chicken. Once you have some colour, remove from the pan and set aside.
- Step 3: Turn the pan down to medium-low and add the sliced shallot, cook for 2 minutes before adding the garlic (if the pan dries up, don't be afraid to add some more olive oil). Cook the garlic for 2 minutes before adding the stock and lemon zest and juice.
- Step 4: Let it reduce by 1/3 before you add the capers and the chicken back to the pan, followed by the butter. Stir well until the butter is incorporated into the sauce.
- Step 5: Finish with the chopped parsley and plate, garnish with some fresh lemon slices and enjoy!
