Gluten Free Lemon & Caper Chicken

My daughter enjoys this recipe so much that when I cooked it last night she said I was "the best cook ever!" as she asked for seconds. I'm sure all kids think their moms are the best cooks, but I have to say this recipe is worth a try!

INGREDIENTS:
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts)
2 large eggs
6 Tbs plus 2 tsp millet flour (or other gluten-free flour)
1 tsp salt (may be reduced if on a low-sodium diet)
4 Tbs plus 1 Tbs butter or butter alternative (I used Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread)
3 lemons
4 garlic cloves
1/2 cup dry white wine
6 - 8 Tbs capers

DIRECTIONS:
1. Between two sheets of wax paper flatten the chicken with a rolling pin or meat mallet.
2. In a bowl mix 6 Tbs of the millet flour with the salt.
3. In a separate bowl whisk the egg.
4. Dip the chicken in the egg and then coat with the millet flour mixture.
5. In a large skillet melt 4 Tbs of the butter. Cook the chicken for 5 - 6 minutes and then turn. Cook the chicken until done (no pink inside and about 10 to 12 more minutes). Remove chicken and keep warm. Keep the drippings in the skillet for the sauce.
6. Cut thin lemon slices from one of the lemons. From the other two lemons squeeze the juice into a bowl. Dice the garlic and add the garlic and lemon slices to the skillet and cook until garlic is golden.
7. In a measuring cup or small bowl combine the wine, lemon juice and the remaining 2 tsp millet flour. Add this mixture to the skillet and heat the sauce until boiling. Cook for one more minute and then reduce the heat to low.
8. Stir in capers (more or less to taste) and add the remaining 1 Tbs butter or butter alternative.
9. Place the chicken on the plate (or platter) and arrange the lemon slices on top and drizzle the sauce over the chicken. This recipe is great, but don't forget to serve it with veggies! Asparagus goes really well with this recipe.

I absolutely LOVE capers! I can't get enough! This recipe has a pretty large amount of capers so if you are on a low-sodium diet you may want to reduce the amount of capers.
