1 Butterfly the chicken breast and pound it thin. Salt and pepper to taste.
2 Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off the excess.
3 In a skillet over high heat, melt three Tbsp. butter, and brown the chicken, the browner and crispier the better, 3–5 minutes on each side.
4 Remove chicken from the skillet, and, in the same pan, add chicken stock, lemon, and capers.
5 Boil until the sauce reduces by ⅓, and return the chicken to the skillet.
6 Spoon sauce over the chicken several times.
7 Serve immediately, with the remaining sauce poured over the chicken.
8 Enjoy!
