Cut chicken breasts in half (4 pieces). Remove skin and bones. Season with salt and pepper and pat thoroughly with flour. Melt butter in large frying pan. Allow to brown, not burn. Squeeze in juice of 1/4 small lemon. Put in chicken and brown on both sides - not necessary to cook through. When light brown, pour on 1/4 c. gin. Set it aflame and allow flames to die down. Add vermouth, broth and squirt of lemon. Cover and turn down heat. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove and breasts and keep warm. Don't let them dry out. Cook sauce to reduce - approximately 15 minutes.
