Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
•  5 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 1/4 cups chicken stock
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1/4 cup capers, drained
• Chili power to taste

Directions:

1. Season chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Dredge chicken in 4 tablespoons flour until evenly coated.
   
   
2. Heat canola oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
   
   
3. Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 4-5 minutes per side; set aside. Reduce heat to medium low.
   
   
4. Whisk in remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
   
   
5. Gradually stir in chicken stock, wine and lemon juice. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, parsley and capers; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Return chicken to the skillet.
   
   
6. Serve immediately.
