Pound out 4 boneless chicken breasts until 1/8 to 1/4" thick.  Coat with a mixture of flour salt and pepper.  Dip in an egg wash (1 egg white mixed with a cup of water).  Coat with Panko bread crumbs. Saute in a heated pan of butter and fresh garlic.  Spoon 4 ounces of BYRD CELLARS CHARDONNAY WINE JELLY into the mixture.  Add the chicken.  Sprinkle with capers and cover simmering for about 20 minutes. Mmmmmm .....  woof!

Optional:  If you can find them, substitute caper flowers for the caper buds.  Place some on top of the chicken AFTER removing the chicken from the pan or use both the buds and the flowers for a more decorative robust dish.  Serve with a light buttered linquini pasta.
