- 1/2 cup salted chicken broth

Instructions
- Step 1: Rinse and dry the chicken breasts. Slice each breast in half, end to end so that they are thin cutlets. Then place between 2 pieces of cling wrap or paper and pound to 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch thickness if needed.

- Step 4: Add the butter and garlic to the empty pan. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the garlic is golden.
- Step 5: Meanwhile, stir together the broth, lemon, cornstarch, and honey in a bowl. Pour this into the garlic butter, stirring constantly. Cook for 3 minutes, or until the sauce the thickened.
- Serve: Add the chicken and capers, tossing it until warmed and coated in the sauce. Top with parsley and pepper. Enjoy.
