Season chicken with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. When butter and oil start to sizzle, add chicken pieces and cook for 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for 3 minutes. Remove chicken and transfer to a warmed plate.
Into the pan add the lemon juice, stock, and capers. Return to the stove and bring to a boil, scraping up the brown bits from the pan. Return chicken pieces to the pan and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove chicken to warmed plate.
Add remaining tablespoon of butter to sauce and whisk vigorously. Pour sauce over chicken and garnish with chopped parsley.
