Instructions
COOK THE CHICKEN Heat oven to 170 (warm). Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour (or put the chicken in a plastic bag with the flour and coat completely). Melt 2 tablespoon butter in a large stainless skillet over medium heat until butter has stopped foaming, then add the olive oil. Add the chicken and cook about 3-4 minutes per side - to brown and until almost done. If you do this in 2 batches, you may need a little more olive oil. Remove chicken to a separate oven-proof dish and place in the oven while you make the sauce in the same fry pan you used to brown the chicken. MAKE THE SAUCE Deglaze the pan with the white wine (scrape the stuck bits with a wooden spoon) and reduce by ⅔ (approximately 5 min). Add the lemon juice and chicken stock and reduce until thickened and you have a sauce consistency (approximately 10 minutes). Remove from heat and whisk in the remaining 8 tbs of butter a tablespoon at a time. Add capers and chicken (and the accumulated chicken juices). Turn the chicken once and cook briefly (about 1-2 minutes) in the sauce. Serve over pasta.View original recipe
