Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 veal cutlets, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Place the veal cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup of flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the veal cutlets in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the veal cutlets and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the veal from the skillet and set aside.

- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot, spooning the sauce over the veal. Enjoy!
