- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons capers

Instructions
- Slice the thick chicken breast as if you are butterflying, but cut all the way through. Place plastic wrap over the chicken and pound until thin.
- In a bowl combine the almond flour, parmesan and herbs.
- Dredge the thin chicken breast in the mixture and make sure it is coated well on both sides. Let the breaded chicken sit in the fridge 10 minutes to make sure the coating adhears well.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and all of the olive oil in the skillet. Sear the chicken about 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer the browned chicken onto a plate.
- In the same pan add the wine, scraping the pan to deglaze it. Add the lemon juice, capers, heavy cream and remaining butter to the skillet and stir. When the sauce has reduced slightly add the chicken back to the skillet. and cook 2-3 minutes.
- Top with lemon wedges, parmesan and parsley if desired.
Notes
If you cannot fit all of the chicken in a skillet with the sauce at the same time, you can warm it through on the skillet in batches and place in a baking dish to serve.
Alternatively, you can put all of the chicken in the baking dish, pour the sauce over and bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
**Note: if you do not cut and pound the chicken thin it will require additional cooking time.
