Skillet Creamy Lemon Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
    olive oil
    2 tablespoons garlic butter (I use Land O'Lakes)
    2 tablespoons garlic, minced or 1 tablespoon garlic paste
    3 cups chicken stock
    1/3 cup heavy cream
    1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons lemons or 1 1/2-2 tablespoons vinegar
    1 cup dry white wine
    1/4 cup lemon juice (to taste)
    2 tablespoons capers, drained and chopped
    1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Preparation
    In a nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over med high.
    Stir in garlic butter until melted.
    Add chicken.
    Cook 5 min to brown, then reduce heat to med.
    Turn chicken and cook about 4-5min more until juice runs clear when pierced.
    Transfer chicken to a warm dish.
    Lower heat if needed to maintain medium-low to medium heat so as not to scorch the garlic, then add garlic to the drippings in the skillet.
    In a cup, mix stock, wine, lemon juice, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of flour until smooth.
    Stir into mixture in skillet. Scrape skillet to incorporate any browned bits from the chicken.
    Heat to a boil, boil 1 minute. Stir in capers and remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the heavy cream, simmer until thickened.
    Pour sauce over chicken, sprinkle with parsley and garnish with additional lemon slices.
    **This recipe is to make double the sauce to add to add to pasta if you are laying the chicken on top.
    Note: Occasionally, this has turned out a little more \"tangy\" than I would like with too much lemon. If this happens, just dilute with a little extra chicken stock or broth mixed with cornstarch or flour to keep thicker consistency.
