Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
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

Servings: persons

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.
