The picture of this chicken just leapt off the page at me, it looks so delicious. I have never used capers before but I'm told they taste similar to green olives. If your chicken breasts aren't too thick you may want to cut down the cooking time. I prefer mine to cook a little longer. Recipe & photo: swanson.campbellskitchen.com 01-16-15
