Remove any excess fat from the skillet and discard. Add wine, chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Cook over high heat until simmering and slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and swirl skillet to melt. Pour sauce over chicken, and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.
