Notes
➔ Pound the chicken to an even thickness for cooking.
➔ Do not crowd the pan while frying the chicken.
➔ Use fresh lemon juice for the very best flavor.
➔ Rinse the capers to remove excess salt before adding.
➔ Cold butter at the end makes the sauce glossy.
➔ Keep the heat on medium to avoid burning butter.
