Ingredients

1/4 cup flour, all-purpose
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 each chicken breasts halved, skinned, boned, pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
5 teaspoons corn oil
1/4 cup chicken broth low sodium
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers drained

Directions

Combine the flour, pepper, and paprika on a plate. Press the chicken breast into the mixture, coating them evenly all over and shaking off any excess.

In a heavy 10 inch skillet, heat the corn oil over moderately high heat for 1 minute. Add the breasts and cook about 3 minutes on each side; do not overcook. Transfer the breasts to a heated platter.

Add the chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom. Stir in the lemon juice and capers and heat through. Pour the sauce over the breasts.

Black Bean Chili

With a few changes this was awesome. I cut the recipe in half and substituted half sweet Hungarian paprika and half mild chili powder for the paprika. In addition to the cumin seed I added a teaspoon of ground cumin. I used a 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes along with 1/4 cup tomato paste. Two minced canned chipotle chilis in adobo sauce were used in place of the jalapenos. I also added an 11 oz. can drained corn. I then gently simmered the chili for almost two hours, adding additional cooking liquid from the beans when necessary. This really allows the flavors to meld. This can also be accomplished in a slow cooker. I didn't bother with the red bell pepper, cheese, and sour cream, although it would be delicious.
