Ingredients
  

  • 4  skinless boneless chicken breast halves
  • cayenne pepper to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • all purpose  flour for dredging
  • 2 tbsp  olive oil
  • 1 tbsp  capers, drained
  • ½  cup  white wine
  • ¼  cup fresh lemon juice
  • ¼  cup water
  • 3 tbsp  cold unsalted butter, cut in 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh Italian parsley

Instructions
 

  • Step 1
    Place chicken bosoms between 2 sheets of weighty plastic on a strong, level surface. Solidly pound chicken bosoms with the smooth side of a meat hammer to a 1/2-inch thickness.
  • Step 2
    Season the two sides of chicken bosoms with cayenne, salt, and dark pepper; dig daintily in flour and shake off any overabundance.
  • Step 3
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high intensity. Place chicken in the dish, decrease intensity to medium, and cook until seared and cooked through, around 5 minutes for each side; move to a plate.
  • Step 4
    Cook escapades in saved oil, crushing them softly to deliver saline solution, until warmed through, around 30 seconds. Empty white wine into the skillet and heat to the point of boiling while at the same time scratching the cooked pieces of food off the lower part of the dish with a wooden spoon. Cook until diminished considerably, around 2 minutes.
  • Step 5
    Mix lemon squeeze, water, and spread into the decreased wine blend; cook and mix consistently to frame a thick sauce, around 2 minutes. Diminish intensity to low and mix parsley through the sauce.
  • Step 6
    Return chicken bosoms to the skillet and cook until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Present with sauce spooned over the top.
