Ingredients
  

  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts
  • 6 tbsps unsalted butter
  • 5 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil
  • All-purpose flour for dredging
  • 1/2 c chicken stock
  • 1/4 c brined capers rinsed
  • 1/3 c fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/3 c fresh lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Take chicken thighs and pat dry, season all over with salt and pepper, then dredge each thigh into flour and shake off any excess. Set aside
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once the pan is hot and butter melted, add in a couple of chicken thighs at a time, making sure not to crowd them in the pan. Cook till golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Add in more butter and olive oil
    with each batch of chicken till all the chicken is golden brown and cooked.
  • Remove all the chicken from the pan, then to that same pan add lemon juice, chicken stock, and capers. Stir with a wooden spoon to get all the browned bits up from the chicken cooking and stir till simmering.
  • Add the chicken back into the pan in the sauce, simmer for 5 minutes, then remove the chicken to a serving platter. Then add in the remaining 2 Tbsp butter and swirl to incorporate into the sauce.
  • Taste for seasonings and pour the sauce over top of the chicken. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley.
