Slice chicken breast into escalopes (thin cutlets).

Season normal flour with salt and black pepper.

Dredge chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour.

Wash hands after handling flour.

Add about 2 tablespoons of plain olive oil to a frying pan.

Add 1 knob of butter to the frying pan with the oil.

Wait for the butter to melt without burning, aided by the oil.

Once butter is melted, add the chicken cutlets to the pan.

Rinse the salt from the capers in brine, then squeeze out excess water.

Add the rinsed capers to the pan to fry with the chicken.

Chop chives finely, reserving half for later.

Add half of the chopped chives to the pan now, and reserve the other half for later.

Cook the chicken for about 1 to 1.5 minutes until ready.

Pour in about 3 to 4 tablespoons of Vincanto wine into the pan.

Allow the wine to bubble and let the alcohol cook off while retaining the flavor.

Add two more knobs of butter to the pan and shake the pan to mix everything.
