DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, mix flour and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the mixture to coat, and set aside.
Melt butter and heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place coated chicken in the skillet, and cook about 10 minutes per side, until no longer pink and juices run clear. Remove from heat, and set aside.
Increase skillet heat to high, and pour in the orange juice. Cook until reduced by about 1/2.
Stir in the orange zest, capers, and parsley. Return chicken to the skillet, and coat with the orange juice mixture to serve.

This was very simple to make and turned out well. I like the combination of orange and capers. Next time, though, I think I will add a little brown sugar to make the coating a little sweeter and not so tart.

Cook time was perfect: Very tender, and moist chicken. Capers & zest add a nice touch of tartness to the orange. Surprisingly tasty considering the lack of herb and spice ingredients.

This was so good! We thought the sauce was perfect, not too sweet or tart. It was great with rice. The only problem was that I didn't want to stop eating! :0)Thanks Heather!

I just made this for dinner tonight. While the chicken was cooking I was able to chop the parsley and grate the orange zest so prep was easy. I served it over rice. I asked my family what they would rate it and my brother the chef looks at me and goes "This is good. The chicken is actually tender. You always overcook chicken." Thanks, Davey. Anyway, everyone liked it but we all thought the sauce needed more balance, it was just too sweet. When I make this again I think I'll add some chicken stock to the orange juice. Also, some salt is needed.

Excellent! Simple and delicious--my family told me to make this one again! (and they'd never had capers before)

I had some trouble getting the chicken cooked throughly without burning it. Taste was fantastic with refried beans and pico for a fresh Mexican twist.

This was excellent. I used less capers (about 1 tbls) because I wasn't sure the kids would go for them, but it was a hit. The sauce is delicious; perfect over rice. Thank you for sharing!

The adults enjoyed this dish but the kids didn't care for the orange sauce. I followed the recipe exactly except for using a little corn starch to thicken the sauce up.
