Healthy eating requires healthy cooking techniques. To minimize the oil normally used to pan-fry scaloppine, use a well- seasoned or heavy-bottomed pan and spray it with nonstick cooking spray before heating.

INGREDIENTS

1	pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves
3	tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
1/4	teaspoon black pepper
1/4	teaspoon chili powder
1/2	cup fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth
1	tablespoon lemon juice
1	tablespoon drained capers
1/2	teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

PREPARATION:

Place chicken breasts, 1 at a time, between sheets of waxed paper. Pound to 1/4-inch thickness. Combine 2 tablespoons flour, pepper and chili powder in shallow plate. Dip chicken pieces in flour mixture to lightly coat both sides.
Combine broth, lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon flour and capers in small bowl.
Spray large skillet with nonstick cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Place chicken in hot pan in single layer; cook 1-1/2 minutes. Turn over; cook 1 to 1-1/2 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Repeat with remaining chicken (brush pan with 1/4 teaspoon oil each time you add pieces to prevent sticking). If cooking more than 2 batches, reduce heat to medium to prevent burning chicken.
Stir broth mixture and pour into skillet. Boil 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve immediately over chicken.
