Instructions

Marinate chicken in yogurt for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator. Cover the chicken while it marinates.
Rinse the yogurt off the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels before cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, paprika, salt, and pepper to create the coating for the chicken.
Heat oil, margarine, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice in a skillet over medium heat. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, then place it in the hot skillet. Cook the chicken, turning occasionally, until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.
Pour vermouth into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in garlic, 1/4 cup lemon juice, water, and capers. Simmer the sauce until it has reduced by half.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Simmer for an additional 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
