Steps:
- Mix together salt and flour in a small dish or plastic bag, then coat chicken and shake off excess. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Shake excess flour from chicken, then brown in hot oil until both sides are golden-brown, and the inside has turned white and firm, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken, and set aside in a warm place. Pour white wine into the skillet, and allow to boil as you dissolve the cooked bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the lemon juice, and allow to come to a boil, cook for a few minutes until reduced by half.
- Sprinkle the cubed butter into the boiling sauce. Swirl and shake the pan vigorously to dissolve the butter, thus thickening the sauce. The butter must never come to rest, or the sauce will separate and become oily. Once the butter has completely incorporated, remove from heat and stir in capers.
- To serve, pour lemon-caper sauce over the chicken, and serve with a wedge of lemon.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH TOMATOES AND CAPERS
This recipe was originally developed by Pierre Franey in 1991 for the 60-Minute Gourmet column, a weekly feature dedicated to Times-worthy dishes that were easy, quick and inexpensive. This recipe fit the bill perfectly, and it still does. Just sauté the chicken breasts until they are lightly browned. Then add shallots and garlic, tarragon, tomatoes, vinegar, capers, white wine and tomato paste. Stir well and cook for about 9 minutes more. That's it.

Steps:
- Put the oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the chicken, skin side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook undisturbed, adjusting the heat so the chicken doesn't burn, until the pieces are browned on the bottom and release easily from the skillet, 5 to 10 minutes. Continue cooking, turning the chicken every few minutes, until it's brown all over, 5 to 10 minutes more. Remove the chicken from the pan and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat.
- Add the onions and capers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and tomatoes; cook until the mixture starts to bubble and the tomatoes thicken slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the wine and let the mixture bubble for another 2 minutes.
- Add the olives and thyme, and return the chicken to the skillet, nestling the pieces into the sauce. Adjust the heat so the liquid bubbles gently but steadily, then cover the skillet. Cook, turning the chicken every 10 minutes or so and adding a splash of stock or water if the sauce looks too dry, until the chicken is tender and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 155 to 165). Taste the sauce, and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with the parsley, and serve.

SAUTEED CHICKEN WITH CAPERS
A thinly pounded breast works as well for sauteing as it does for grilling. It cooks quickly but stays moist. Dredging the chicken in flour before cooking gives it a golden exterior and leaves bits in the pan that make a great base for a simple sauce.

Steps:
- Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally. Place each half between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness with a meat mallet or small skillet. Place flour on a plate.

CHICKEN WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE
Found this recipe in April 2008 "Taste of Home" Magazine, tried it and loved it. Fairly simple to make, attractive presentation and wonderful blend of flavors with a just a hint of garlic and a wonderful citrus flavor. There are other similar recipes here, but this one is a little differant and my family really loved it. I served w/steamed white rice and spooned the extra sauce over that and it made for a lovely dinner.

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. If fresh tomatoes are not available, you can use canned diced tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before adding them to the sauce.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit when it is done cooking.
- Add the capers and olives towards the end of cooking. This will prevent them from becoming too salty or overcooked.
- Serve the chicken in tomato caper sauce over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Chicken in tomato caper sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of juicy chicken, tangy tomatoes, briny capers, and salty olives is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and flavorful meal, give this recipe a try!
