Directions:
1) In a small bowl, combine Italian seasoning, black pepper, salt and garlic powder. Lightly season all sides of chicken with seasoning mixture
2) In a large skillet over medium - high heat, add olive oil. Add chicken and let cook for three minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 more minutes.
3) When chicken is done cooking, transfer to a deep plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
4) Add butter, sherry and lemon juice to skillet and scrape up any chicken bits. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
5) Add whipping cream and bring to a simmer, cook 2-3 minutes whisking constantly, until it can lightly coat the back of a spoon * Not sure that has ever happened when i have cooked this so just cook for 3 minutes and call it good! *

6)Remove from heat and add capers, thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Pour over chicken and serve (I like to slice up my chicken and add it back to the sauce to reheat the chicken.
Great served over zucchini noodles. Kenz cooks those in butter, fresh garlic minced and adds a little cooking sherry to give it some good flavor and moisture.

This is aunt jenny's favorite meal so plan to make it for her whenever you want to see her smile :)
