1. Spread flour in shallow dish. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper. Working with 1 chicken breast at a time, dredge breasts in flour.

Flip chicken, reduce heat to medium, and continue to cook until chicken registers 160 degrees, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to platter and cover with aluminum foil.
3. Add 1 tablespoon oil, zucchini, and squash to now-empty skillet and cook over medium-high heat until vegetables are well browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes and capers and cook until tomatoes are just softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in basil and remaining 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour tomato mixture over chicken and serve.
