Put 1.5 tbls unsalted butter in heavy 10-12” skillet over medium high heat

Heat breasts until fragrant and nut-brown for about 4 minutes per side keeping the oils as hot as possible without burning. Use tongs to turn and cook another 3-5 minutes more.
Remove all but 2 tbls of the fat from the skillet
Add ¼ cup minced onions or shallots
Cook until softened, about 1 minute
Add ¼ cup dry white wine or vermouth
Boil scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wood spoon until wine is evaporated
Stir in: 1 pound tomatoes (2 cups) seeded and chopped, 2 tbls nonpareil capers-drained and 1 tbld minced garlic
