My husband (who is not a cook) developed this chicken breasts in caper cream sauce recipe when looking through what we had in the fridge. We love capers, and my VERY picky 8-year old always asks for 'Daddy's chickie.'

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • ½ cup whipping cream

  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed

Directions

  1. Season chicken breasts with lemon pepper, salt, dill weed, and garlic powder.

  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add breasts and increase heat to medium-high; flip frequently, until brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; cook until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer breasts to a warm serving platter; cover with foil.

  3. Increase heat to high. Whisk whipping cream into skillet, whisking continuously, until reduced to sauce consistency, about 3 minutes. Off heat, stir in capers; pour over breasts and serve.
