Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cover the chicken breasts with a piece of plastic wrap and, using a meat pounder flatten each breast until thin.. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Put the flour in a shallow bowl. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour and shake off any excess.
Step 3
In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the foaming subsides, add the chicken and cook until golden brown on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the chicken and brown the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. When done, remove the chicken from the pan, sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper, and set aside.
Step 4
Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the lemon juice and capers, scraping up any brown bits and pieces left from the chicken. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
Step 5
Return the chicken to the pan, place over medium heat, and warm gently for 1 minute. Top the chicken and sauce with the parsley and serve immediately.
