Skillet Chicken with Lemon, Green Olives, and Capers

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup green olives, sliced or chopped
• 2 tablespoons capers, drained

Directions

1. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat.
2. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add them to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Transfer the chicken out of the pan and set it aside.
3. Put the butter in the skillet and let it melt over medium heat. Stir in the capers, olives, lemon juice, and chicken broth until the sauce comes together. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, just until it reduces a bit and lightly thickens.
4. Place the chicken breasts back in the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the top. Cover the pan and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve hot, with more sauce spooned over the chicken if desired.
