Directions:
Cut tenderloin into 8 slices. Place between plastic wrap or in a zip lock bag and use meat mallet or rolling pin to flatten to ¼ in. thickness. Combine flour, cheese, salt and pepper and dredge meat in mixture. Melt 2 T. butter, add 2 T. olive oil and brown meat in batches in large skillet. Remove meat from skillet to a platter and keep warm.
Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet (do not wipe out the skillet) add garlic and lemon juice and sauté 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to make a paste; whisk in wine, broth, and parsley and simmer a few minutes until gravy is smooth and begins to thicken. Stir in remaining 2 T. butter and capers; stir until butter is melted.
Return meat to skillet, turning to coat with sauce, simmer until meat is heated through and fork tender, 2 or 3 minutes. If liquid becomes too thick you may add additional chicken broth, or water. Remove meat to a platter or plate, pour sauce over, garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley.

Personal Notes:
If you choose to make this with chicken breast, cut the breast in half lengthwise before pounding.
