1
Slice the chicken breasts into thin, even strips.
2
Combine the lemon pepper, salt, dill weed, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Then, evenly sprinkle this spice mixture over the chicken strips, ensuring all sides are well-coated.
3
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chicken strips and sear until they are golden and cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
4
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Keep them warm by covering them with foil.
5
Pour the half-and-half cream into the skillet, whisking to deglaze the pan and incorporate the tasty browned bits. Cook until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
6
Add the capers and fresh lemon juice to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Note that the sauce will thicken a bit more as it cools.
7
Spoon the caper sauce over the cooked chicken strips and serve warm.
