Ingredients
  • 2 tbsps capers, drained
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 lemon wedges
  • 2 (6 oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/4 c lemon juice
  • 1/2 c all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 c dry white wine
  • 1/4 c cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 2 tbsps olive oil

Directions
  • Step #1 Mix together salt & flour in a small dish or plastic bag, then coat chicken & shake off excess.
  • Step #2 Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Step #3 Shake excess flour from chicken, then brown in hot oil until both sides are golden-brown, & the inside has turned white & firm, 3 to 4 mins per side.
  • Step #4 Remove the chicken, & set aside in a warm place.
  • Step #5 Pour white wine into the skillet, & allow to boil as you dissolve the cooked bits from the bottom of the pan.

  • Step #7 Sprinkle top the cubed butter into the boiling sauce.
  • Step #8 Swirl & shake the pan vigorously to dissolve the butter, thus thickening the sauce.
  • Step #9 The butter must never come to rest, or the sauce will separate & become oily.
  • Step #10 Once the butter has completely incorporated, remove this from heat & stir in the capers.
  • Step #11 To serve, pour lemon-caper sauce over the chicken, & serve this with a wedge of lemon.
