- 1 lemon, thinly sliced and seeded
- 2 tablespoons drained capers

- Heat 2 tablespoons each butter and olive oil in a large skillet until shimmering hot.

- Transfer to a plate.
- Pour off any fat, add 1/4 cup dry white vermouth to the pan, and deglaze, scraping up any browned bits.
- Add 1/4 cup chicken stock and cook until syrupy.
- Add 1 thinly sliced, seeded lemon and 2 tablespoons drained capers and cook for a few minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
