    1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
    1/4 cup water
    3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut in 1/4-inch slices
    2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped

    Directions

    Place chicken breasts between 2 layers of plastic wrap and pound to about 1/2-inch thick.
    Season both sides of chicken breasts with cayenne, salt, and black pepper; dredge lightly in flour and shake off any excess.
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken in the pan, reduce heat to medium, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side; remove to a plate.
    Cook capers in reserved oil, smashing them lightly to release brine, until warmed through, about 30 seconds.
    Pour white wine into skillet. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
    Stir lemon juice, water, and butter into the reduced wine mixture; cook and stir continuously to form a thick sauce, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir parsley through the sauce.

    Remove the toothpicks, and transfer the breasts to a warm platter. Blend the cornstarch with the cream in a small bowl, and whisk slowly into the skillet. Cook, stirring until thickened, and pour over the chicken. Serve warm.
