👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips
Be sure to rinse the capers before adding them to the dish! The brine capers are stored in is super salty, so rinsing them allows you to control exactly how much salt goes into the dish. The trick to perfect pan-fried chicken? The breading! That light coating of flour turns into a deliciously crispy breading when pan-fried in the butter and olive oil. If you’re following a gluten-free diet, use gluten-free flour. It’s essential to the recipe, so be sure not to omit it! As always, I suggest using a meat thermometer to ensure the perfect temperature for cooked chicken! Fully cooked chicken reads at 165° Fahrenheit. Thin cut chicken will cook more quickly than thick chicken breasts, so using your meat thermometer can give a peace of mind that you’re not overcooking it.
