Steps:
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Press your palm down on a chicken breast and slice the chicken in half with a sharp knife parallel to the cutting board. Repeat with the second chicken breast to make a total of 4 cutlets.
- Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the capers and fry until golden brown and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the skillet using a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve the oil in the skillet and remove from the heat.
- Set up a dredging station with 2 shallow bowls or pie plates. Combine the flour with 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, 1 tablespoon kosher salt and the lemon zest in 1 bowl; stir with a fork to combine. Whisk the eggs with 2 tablespoons of the cream in the other bowl.
- Heat the reserved oil in the skillet over medium heat.
- Working in an assembly line, dredge 1 chicken cutlet in the seasoned flour and turn to coat both sides; tap off any excess. Dip the chicken cutlet into the beaten eggs and coat both sides, letting any excess drip off. Carefully lower the cutlet into the skillet. Repeat with the remaining chicken cutlets, frying them in a single layer, until the chicken is opaque and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and set aside.
- Carefully pour off the oil and discard. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel. Add the butter and cook over medium heat, swirling the skillet occasionally, until the butter bubbles and begins to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the wine and the juice of 1/2 the zested lemon, increase the heat to medium-high and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced and thickened, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock to the skillet and continue to cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon cream until emulsified.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Return the chicken to the skillet, add the lemon slices and increase the heat to medium. Cook, spooning the sauce over the chicken, until it's warmed through and the lemons have started to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Divide the chicken among plates, top with the lemon slices and spoon the sauce over the top.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan, the parsley and fried capers and enjoy.

Steps:
- Prepare frying station with chicken, a bowl of flour, and a bowl with beaten eggs.
- Heat a large pan to medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge chicken into flour, shake off excess and dip into egg. Add a bit of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to pan and fry the cutlets. Do not crowd. Work in batches. Use more oil/butter as required for subsequent batches.
- Fry cutlets for 3 minutes per side, then place on paper towels to drain.
- Add sliced lemons to the pan and cook for 10-15 seconds. Add in the white wine, chicken stock, and the juice of half a lemon. Turn heat to medium-high and bring sauce to boil for 3-4 minutes.
- Turn heat to medium-low and add small butter pieces rolled in flour (2 tablespoons worth). If the sauce is too thin add a touch more flour (~1 teaspoon) and continue to cook for 1-2 more minutes. Add a nice bit of black pepper and if necessary adjust salt and/or lemon juice amount.
- When satisfied with the sauce's taste and consistency return the chicken to the pan and gently coat with the sauce and heat through for 1-2 minutes. Add the chopped parsley on top. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Mix together salt and flour in a small dish or plastic bag, then coat chicken and shake off excess. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Shake excess flour from chicken, then brown in hot oil until both sides are golden-brown, and the inside has turned white and firm, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken, and set aside in a warm place. Pour white wine into the skillet, and allow to boil as you dissolve the cooked bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the lemon juice, and allow to come to a boil, cook for a few minutes until reduced by half.
- Sprinkle the cubed butter into the boiling sauce. Swirl and shake the pan vigorously to dissolve the butter, thus thickening the sauce. The butter must never come to rest, or the sauce will separate and become oily. Once the butter has completely incorporated, remove from heat and stir in capers.
- To serve, pour lemon-caper sauce over the chicken, and serve with a wedge of lemon.

Steps:
- To make bread crumbs: Tear or cut 1/2 lb. firm, white, country style bread into 1-2" pieces. Put few handfuls into the bowl of a food processor, and pulse into coarse crumbs. Repeat until you have 4 cups of crumbs. Pour crumbs into mixing bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted, unsalted butter.
- Heat large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add bread crumbs and cook, stirring, until crumbs start to color and crisp, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low and continue to cook, stirring, until crumbs dry out and have browned nicely, about 6 minutes. Cool before using.
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Put flat rack on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with foil.
- With a meat pounder or a heavy skillet, lightly pound the chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap to even out the thickness of the breasts.
- In a large bowl, mix 1/4 cup of the Parmigiano, 2 1/2 tablespoons of the capers, 1 tablespoons of the thyme, and the oil, mustard, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Squeeze 1-2 lemon wedges to get 1 tablespoons of lemon juice and add to the mixture, along with 2 tablespoons of water. Add the chicken and toss to coat well. You can proceed directly to coating the breasts with crumbs, or let them marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Put the breadcrumbs in a large shallow dish and toss with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmigiano, 2 1/2 tablespoons capers, and 1 tbsp of thyme.
- Working with one piece at a time, transfer the chicken to the dish of crumbs, scoop some crumbs on top, and press well a couple of times so the crumbs adhere to both sides. Use the heel of your hand and a firm rotating motion to press crumbs onto the chicken, Don't shake off any excess when transferring the breasts to the baking sheet; keep as many crumbs on the chicken as possible.
- Bake the chicken until it's firm to the touch and registers 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately with the remaining lemon wedges for squeezing over the chicken.

CHICKEN IN LEMON CAPER BUTTER
The first dish I ever served to guests and the response I got was so positive I've been making it ever since. Needless to say, it's a very simple recipe. One of the few chicken dishes I still make using bone-in, skin-on chicken parts. When feeding known garlic-lovers, I'll increase the garlic. I generally serve it with noodles. While I post the original amounts from the recipe below, I actually do not measure the butter & lemon juice when I make this, but rather use 1 lemon's worth lemon juice and approximately the same or just slightly more butter, so that the butter comes to about 2-3 Tbs I would guess.
