Entree: Chicken Piccata

I tried this recipe from a local supermarket recipe book. It was a hit, so it became one of our meals. It isn't very hard to make, so can be done on a limited time night.

3 Tbsp butter, divided
1/2 cup chicken broth
4 thin slices lemon

Directions:

1. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper. Dip chicken in flour mixture, coating well.
