Ingredients (serves 4):
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Cooking Tips:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking to ensure they cook evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should reach 165°F before serving.
- Don't overcook the chicken or it will become dry and tough.
Cooking Process:
1. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers to the skillet. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
4. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in the parsley and thyme.
5. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
