Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup white wine or lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Juice of 1 lemon
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then coat them in flour, shaking off any excess.
Air Fry the Chicken: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket and drizzle with olive oil. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
Make the Sauce: In a skillet, combine the chicken broth, white wine (or lemon juice), lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the butter until melted and the sauce is slightly thickened.
Combine and Serve: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the air fryer and place it on a serving platter. Pour the lemon wine butter sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
