4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon drained capers
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Lemon slices, for garnish

1
Place the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/8-inch thickness using a meat pounder.
2
In a large nonreactive skillet, melt 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil over moderately high heat. Lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper. When the butter stops foaming, add 2 pieces of chicken to the pan and saute, turning once, until lightly browned and cooked through, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter and keep warm in a low oven. Heat the remaining olive oil and another 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in the skillet and saute the remaining chicken; keep warm. Pour off the fat from the pan.
3
Add the wine to the skillet and boil over high heat until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the lemon zest, lemon juice, capers and half the parsley. Cut the remaining 3 tablespoons cold butter into pieces and whisk them into the sauce.
4
Transfer the chicken to warmed plates and pour the sauce on top. Sprinkle the remaining parsley on the chicken, garnish with the lemon slices and serve.
