PREPARATION: 

Season cutlets with salt & pepper then dredge in flour. Coat a saute pan with nonstick spray, add oil and heat over medium-high. Saute cutlets 2-3 minutes on one side. Flip cutlets over and saute the other side, covered, 1-2 minutes. Transfer cutlets to a warm platter; pour off fat from the pan. Deglaze pan with wine and add minced garlic. Cook until garlic is slightly brown and liquid is nearly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add broth, lemon juice, and capers.

Return cutlets to pan and cook on each side for 1 minute. Transfer cutlets to warm plates. Finish sauce with butter and lemons. Once butter melts, pour sauce over cutlets. Garnish with parsley, if desired, serve immediately.

HINTS: I really prefer to have all my ingredients measured out before I begin to prepare my dishes. As in this case, you don’t have time to slice, dice and measure as you put the dish together. Makes preparation a lot easier.
