Slice the boneless skinless chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make four thinner pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Season each chicken breast on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Spread the blanched almond flour on a shallow plate, then press each chicken breast into the flour to coat both sides thoroughly, shaking off any excess.

Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the salted butter in a large nonstick pan over medium heat, until the butter is fully melted and the pan is sufficiently heated.

Arrange the chicken pieces in the pan in a single layer and cook until golden brown on each side, approximately 5 minutes per side. Once cooked through, transfer the chicken to a holding plate.

Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the heavy cream, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and add the drained capers to the pan, stirring to scrape up any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.

Increase the heat to let the sauce simmer, taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted.

Return the chicken to the pan and let it simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes, ensuring it's thoroughly heated.

Remove the pan from the heat, sprinkle over the freshly chopped parsley and lemon zest.

Serve this sumptuous Lemon Chicken Piccata with Capers immediately, lacing each serving with enough flavorful sauce. Enjoy!
