Preparation

Prepare the Chicken
Begin by flattening the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them gently with a meat mallet until they are about 1/2 inch thick.

Season and Dredge
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
Cooking

Brown the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts in batches (if necessary) and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Add Capers and Chicken
Stir in the capers and return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors and the sauce to reduce slightly.
