In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper.
Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the capers and parsley.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top.
Simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with a side of vegetables.
