I was wrestling with what to make for dinner the other night , I felt like I was in a rut. The same old thing every week, so I hit the internet and looked for a new chicken dish. I was looking for something quick, elegant, and in the comfort food range. I didn't think that was too much to ask....was it?? I came across this at allrecipes.com a recipe for Chicken Breasts in Caper Cream Sauce.

It sounded right up my alley I just need to change things up a bit as I am known to do, so here is my version of their recipe.
I do not really care for dill so I omitted that, since I had read a few of the reviews and some people subbed-out tarragon for the dill, and I would have too but I plum forgot to add it to the sauce. I have a tendency to do that....

Chicken and Capers with a Cream Sauce
- 5 Chicken Breasts, pounded thin
- 1 8oz. carton of cream
- 1 sml shallot, diced
- salt and pepper to taste
- lemon juice to taste
- 1-2 tsp capers
- butter
- olive oil
- Melt 1 tbsp butter with 1 tsp olive oil
- Saute shallots until opaque then transfer to a plate
- Saute chicken in the shallot flavored butter/oil mixture 4-5 minutes each side and they are nicely browned, add a squeeze of lemon juice to taste
- Add carton of cream and simmer on low for another 5 minutes until chicken is cooked thoroughly, and add capers
- I finished it off with a swirl of honey to add a touch of sweetness
I served it with a traditional greenbean casserole ( yum) and two kinds of sweet potato. One sweet and one savory. I used a cinnamon chipotle seasoning blend I had for one and brown sugar and maple syrup for the other. All I can say is YUMMY!!!
ENJOY !!!
ENJOY !!!
