Preheat oven
to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment
paper. Drizzle olive oil on the parchment, then
arrange the lemon slices in a single layer.
Drizzle the lemons lightly with oil and season
with salt and pepper. Roast for about 20 minute,
until the lemons begin to brown around the
edges. |

In a deep
medium skillet, heat the remaining ¼ cup of oil.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper and dust
with the flour, shaking off the excess. Cook the
chicken over high heat, turning once, until
golden, about 6 minutes. Add olives, capers and
stock and bring to a boil. Cook over high heat
until stock is reduced by about two-thirds,
about 5 minutes. Add the roasted lemons, butter
and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, and
simmer just until the chicken is cooked through,
about 1 minute. |
