---

• This one is a bit more involved but well worth the effort and you will feel like a professional chef when your done ;)
• Building the amazing sauce!!
• In large sautee pan heat up butter with some olive oil.. enough to cover the whole pan bottom.
• Cut up 4 or 5 toes of garlic nice and thin like..
• add to butter olive/oil mix on med heat
• hit that with some sea or kosher salt.. REALLY brings out the garlic flavor..
• Next add chopped black olives (bout 8 - 10) and purple onion sliced thin and in half..
• by now your whole house will smell a -f'n-mazing!!
• Now add a splash of white wine and turn the heat down a bit..
• now start your chicken breasts....
• If thick enough, cut chicken breast in half and pound to about an inch thick.
• In a large sautee pan, heat up a butter/olive oil blend pretty hot but not smoking too much. Dust pounded breast (lol) with flower seasoned with salt and a tad of pepper. Quickly brown breasts on both sides and put aside on paper towels to keep less greasy.
• Back to the sauce of love,
• Add the capers and tomatos and artichoke hearts (diced just right., you know, not to small not too big ;)
• Sqeeze half a lemmon or so into sauce,
• add another splash of white wine further fueling your chef attitude,
• and some salt and a bit of pepper to taste (easy on the pepper)
• NOW TASTE IT ! Its so important to taste your dish all along the way, after every addition and adjust salt and other spices.
• If its amazing, good job. If it needs somthing, fix it! Might need more butter ;)
• Now add gourgeous goldend brown breasts into the love and VOILA!
• You can serve over noodles (wide) or rice (basmati) or just with some steamed broccoli.
