How to Make Baked Chicken With Lime Scallions Mushrooms Capers

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Trim excess fat and membranes from 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total).
  3. Lightly pound thicker parts of chicken breasts to even thickness (about ½ inch).
  4. Dredge chicken in ½ cup all-purpose flour, shaking off excess.
  5. In a large oven-safe skillet (or Dutch oven), melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat.
  6. Add chicken and sauté, turning once, until golden brown (about 3 minutes per side).
  7. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  8. Reduce heat to low. Add 2 cups sliced scallions, 2 cloves minced garlic, 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, and 2 tablespoons capers to the skillet.
  9. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  10. Increase heat to medium-high. Add ½ cup dry white wine and bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits. Reduce by half (2-3 minutes).
  11. Spread half the sauce in the bottom of the skillet.
  12. Return chicken to the skillet. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  13. Drizzle with the juice of 1 lime.
  14. Pour remaining sauce over chicken.
  15. Sprinkle with the zest of 1 lime, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and ¼ cup breadcrumbs.
  16. Dot with 1 tablespoon remaining butter.
  17. Bake uncovered in the upper third of the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until juices run clear and chicken is cooked through.
  18. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve immediately with your favorite side dish and a crisp salad.
