Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup flour
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 chicken breast, trimmed and butterflied
  • lemon juice, bottled
  • 3/4 cup cream, 1/3 of it mixed with
  • half-and-half
  • 20 capers

Directions

  1. 1
    heat oil in small saute pan.

    salt and flour chicken and pat off excess flour.
  3. 3
    add chicken to pan and brown both sides.
  4. 4
    remove chicken and pour out excess oil.
  5. 5
    add lemon juice, I use the lemon juice that comes with the squeeze tops, so its about 1 and a half swirls around the pan, start at the handle, If I had to guess I'd say 2-3 seconds and maybe 1/4-1/3 a cup.
  6. 6
    the lemon juice should simmer a bit, but don't worry, now add the cream and if sauce is too lemony in the end add a little extra, capers, artichokes, butter, and a nice pinch of salt and pepper.
  7. 7
    let the sauce reduce until 3/4 done, when the bubbles begin to get bigger, then turn off the heat.
  8. 8
    add the chicken breast to the pan and let sit for one minute and flip to coat the other side.
  9. 9
    the chicken should be thoroughly cooked and juicy.
  10. 10
    pour sauce over chicken on plate.
