   In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Make the sauce

   In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and 2 tbsp of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the capers and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

   Finish the sauce

   Add the remaining butter and stir until melted. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
