Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken and brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to platter. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute 5 minutes. Add turmeric and stir 1 minute. Stir in broth and lemon juice. Return chicken to skillet. Add capers and olives. Simmer until chicken is cooked through and flavors blend, turning chicken occasionally, about 15 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
