This was very good and quite easy to prepare. I used 3 chicken breasts for 3 people and pounded them thin instead of slicing them in half and seasoned them with kosher salt and lemon pepper. I used 2 tablespoons of butter along with the olive oil. I used shallots instead of onion and added the 2nd tbsp. of butter when the shallots and garlic went in the pan. I added a few glugs of my white wine I was drinking to the pan and a slurry of cornstarch and water to thicken the sauce a tiny bit. It was good and I will make it again.

    I loved, loved, loved this chicken. I am a real fan of capers and think they give just a wonderful accent flavor to the otherwise bland chicken. I can't say enough about this chicken, except "Cluck Cluck"!
