½ cup chicken broth
2 tbs Greek capers, rinsed and drained

5. As soon as it comes to a boil, using a rubber spatula scrape the crusty bits off the bottom of the skillet.
6. Add the cubed lemon, capers and sugar.
7. Simmer over low heat until the sauce thickens a little.
8. Just before removing from heat, toss in the butter.
9. Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts and serve.
