Ingredients
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
½ cup cassava or all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more as needed
2 tablespoons butter or ghee (vegan butter for a dairy-free option)
4 garlic cloves peeled and smashed
1 ½ cups chicken broth
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)
2 tablespoons capers drained
2 tablespoons minced parsley for garnish
Instructions
1-Slice each chicken breast horizontally into two even pieces, then pound them to an even thickness and season with 2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper.
2-Lightly coat each chicken cutlet in ½ cup cassava or all-purpose flour, making sure to shake off any excess.
3-Heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the chicken cutlets for about 2 minutes per side without fully cooking them, then transfer to the slow cooker.
4-Reduce the skillet heat to medium-low, melt 2 tablespoons butter or ghee, stir in 2 tablespoons flour to form a paste, add 4 garlic cloves peeled and smashed, and cook for 1-2 minutes without burning.
5-Slowly whisk in 1 ½ cups chicken broth, bring to a light simmer until it forms a thin gravy after about 3-4 minutes, then stir in 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice and 2 tablespoons drained capers.
6-Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker, cover, and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours.
7-Garnish with 2 tablespoons minced parsley before serving the dish hot.

🍳 Browning the chicken before slow cooking improves flavor and texture.
🍋 Add lemon carcasses while cooking and extra lemon juice near the end to boost lemon flavor.
⏲ Avoid overcooking chicken to keep it moist; 4 hours low or 2 hours high heat is ideal.
