Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup flour
salt and pepper
1 chicken breast, trimmed and butterflied
lemon juice, bottled
3/4 cup cream, 1/3 of it mixed with
half-and-half
20 capers
3 -4 quartered canned artichoke hearts
1 tablespoon butter

1
heat oil in small saute pan.
2
salt and flour chicken and pat off excess flour.
3
add chicken to pan and brown both sides.
4
remove chicken and pour out excess oil.
5
add lemon juice, I use the lemon juice that comes with the squeeze tops, so its about 1 and a half swirls around the pan, start at the handle, If I had to guess I'd say 2-3 seconds and maybe 1/4-1/3 a cup.
6
the lemon juice should simmer a bit, but don't worry, now add the cream and if sauce is too lemony in the end add a little extra, capers, artichokes, butter, and a nice pinch of salt and pepper.
7
let the sauce reduce until 3/4 done, when the bubbles begin to get bigger, then turn off the heat.
8
add the chicken breast to the pan and let sit for one minute and flip to coat the other side.
9
the chicken should be thoroughly cooked and juicy.
10
pour sauce over chicken on plate.
