Servings: persons

4 chicken breasts
salt & freshly ground black pepper
all-purpose flour, for dusting
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves
1 1/2 cups sauvignon blanc wine
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
4 lemon zest (1-inch strips)
4 fresh thyme sprigs
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1 bay leaf

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and dust with flour. In a large ovenproof skillet, melt the butter in the oil. Add the chicken, skin side down, and cook over high heat, turning once, until browned, 6 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a large plate and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat.
2
Add the garlic to the skillet and cook over low heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and boil over high heat until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the stock, lemon zest, thyme, capers and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Return the chicken to the pan, skin side up. Transfer the skillet to the oven and braise for about 20 minutes, until the meat is tender.
3
Return the skillet to the stove and boil until the sauce is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Discard the thyme, bay leaf and lemon zest, if desired, before serving.
