Ingredients

  • 16 chicken tenderloins
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons light olive oil
  • 1 (14 ounce) can fat-free chicken broth
  • 10 sprigs lemon thyme (regular thyme is ok)
  • 3 tablespoons capers
  • 1 large lime
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Wash, pat dry, and sprinkle the chicken tenderloins with s&p, and lightly toss in flour.
  2. In a large saute or frying pan, melt 2 tbsps butter in 2 tbsps of light olive oil over medium heat, and brown the tenderlions until they've acheived a good golden color on both sides.
  3. set chicken aside.
  4. Deglaze pan with most of the chicken stock, and turn heat up to high to bring to a boil.
  5. add sprigs of thyme and reduce stock a little.
  6. Return chicken to pan, gently turning in the sauce.
  7. Sprinkle with parsley and capers.
  8. add juice and a little zest of the lime, and remaining butter distributed around the pan.
  9. Simmer uncovered for just about 5 minutes, then turn the tenderloins and simmer another minute or 2 as the sauce thickens.
  10. Plate the chicken around roasted garlic potato wedges, or around a mound og garlic mashed potatoes, and drizzle the sauce over everything (removing the unsightly thyme stems).
  11. Note: If the sauce is getting too thick at any point, just add a little of any remaining chicken stock to help thin it out, or vice versa, reduce it a little longer after plating the chicken.
