Steps:
- Place chicken breasts on cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Pound to even thickness. Use paper towels to dab off excess moisture from chicken.
- Sprinkle each piece of chicken with a thin layer of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Place flour in a shallow dish. Coat each piece of chicken in flour, shaking off excess.
- In an extra large skillet, heat 2 TB olive oil over medium high heat until oil is hot. Add chicken to skillet (cook in batches if needed, to avoid overcrowding.) Cook for 2-3 minutes of each side or until no longer pink in center; don't overcook. Use tongs to transfer chicken to a separate plate; keep warm.
- Without cleaning the skillet out, add 1 TB olive oil to same skillet over medium high heat. When oil is hot, add onion and garlic, stirring 1-2 min until fragrant. Add lemon juice and lemon slices, scraping pan if needed to loosen any browned bits. Cook until lemon slices are nicely browned. Add broth, capers and butter, stirring just until butter melts. Pour lemon mixture over chicken and serve. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Steps:
- Cut lemon in half. Juice half of it, and cut the remaining half into thin slices. Cut chicken breasts into 8 thin cutlets.*
- Whisk flour, salt and pepper in shallow dish or pie plate. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, turning to coat. Discard 2 teaspoons dredging flour and reserve the rest to thicken the sauce in step 5.
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken and cook until the bottom is browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Turn over and continue cooking until browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside on a plate. Repeat with 2 teaspoons oil and the remaining 4 pieces of dredged chicken, adjusting the heat to medium-low to prevent the chicken from burning. Transfer the second batch of chicken to the plate.
- Wipe out skillet with a clean paper towel. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and place the skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring often until soft and browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, and cook, stirring constantly until the garlic is fragrant and just starting to brown, 30 to 90 seconds.
- Sprinkle the remaining dredging flour over the onion mixture and stir to coat. Stir in broth, white wine, capers, the lemon slices and the lemon juice, increase heat to high and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
- Add the chicken and any accumulated juices from the plate to the skillet and turn to coat in the sauce. Bring to a simmer while turning the chicken in the sauce until the sauce is thickened, and the chicken is completely cooked through and hot, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in parsley, remove from the heat and serve.

- Place your flour in a shallow bowl such as a pasta bowl. Then prepare your chicken as described above (butterfly). Season the chicken with any optional salt and pepper if desired and then dredge the chicken through the flour, tapping off any excess, and then place the chicken on a holding plate while you cover the remaining chicken with flour using the same methods.
- Now in a large skillet set on medium to high heat, melt two tablespoons of the butter with a tablespoon of the olive oil (or three tablespoon of olive oil). We will brown the chicken in the skillet, two chicken ‘cutlets’ at a time as they will need room to cook. It should take about 2 1/2 minutes for the first side to brown and then turn the chicken over to cook the other side (about a minute more). Place the cooked chicken on a clean plate after it has cooked. Add additional butter or olive oil as needed between batches. You may not need to use all of the butter that is called for in the ingredients.
- For the sauce, after the chicken has cooked and is placed on a new plate, add the lemon juice, chicken stock, capers and garlic to the skillet and bring it to a boil. Then turn the heat down and add the chicken and simmer the chicken until it is fully cooked (about 2-5 more minutes). Add additional butter or oil if needed and as desired.
