A wonderful chicken dish with a lemon sauce and capers. This chicken is very easy easy to make and is done in under 30 minutes.

This recipe is EXCELLENT! I made it for dinner last night. I am not a cook at all, but decided that I need to learn ASAP so I can be able to feed myself and my daughter healthy meals. I was always scared of chicken (salmonella) but decided that chicken is my favorite thing to eat, I need to learn to cook it! Long story short – this receipe is EASY! If I can cook it, anyone can! It tastes so delicious! I served with broccoli but you can serve with noodles or rice. You probably could bread it also with panko. This is going in my favorites!!
