CHICKEN BREASTS IN CAPER CREAM SAUCE

My husband (who is not a cook) developed this 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 breast halves

 * 1 teaspoon lemon pepper

 * 1 teaspoon salt

 * 1 teaspoon dried dill weed

 * 1 teaspoon garlic powder

 * 3 tablespoons 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. Place breasts in skillet,
    and increase heat to medium-high. Turn chicken frequently, until brown,
    about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and cook 5 to 7 minutes, until
    breasts are cooked through. Remove chicken to a warm serving platter, and
    cover with foil.
    
    

 3. Return skillet to stove, and increase heat to high. Whisk in whipping cream,
    whisking continuously until reduced to sauce consistency, about 3 minutes.
    Remove from heat. Stir in capers. Pour sauce over chicken, and serve.

Four stars as written, as I believe that with just cream the sauce would lack
dimension and would be rather flat. I embellished upon the recipe which made
this dish a solid five star recipe. The chicken, which I seasoned only with salt
and freshly ground pepper, developed a much more appealing look and color
dredged in flour before sauteeing. Once I turned it over I covered it just
briefly to make sure it was cooked through. After removing the chicken to set
aside, I deglazed the pan with about 1/4 c. of white wine, then added the cream,
a good squeeze of lemon (didn't use the lemon pepper at all), and now the dill.
I used only two chicken breasts but kept the sauce measurements the same
(essentially doubled the sauce), and it was just the right amount. If prepared
with the amount of sauce as the recipe directs it would be pretty skimpy! The
chicken was moist, tender and flavorful, with a rich, creamy
lemon/caper/wine/dill sauce that made an already good chicken something
extraordinarily delicious. I served this with cappellini pasta and "Spaghetti
Squash Saute," also from this site. This was an outrageously delicious dish, a
definite "make again." This cooking method and the sauce, by the way, would also
be wonderful with salmon or other types of fish as well!

Excellent recipe. I did make a few, infinitesimally small changes: I dredged the
chicken cutlets in flour before I browned them, and that was enough to thicken
the sauce. Two, I am allergic to dill (and anise, and fennel, unfortunately), so
I had to leave that out. I made up the flavor deficit by adding Montreal Chicken
flavoring to the flour dredge with the salt and pepper. I served it with roasted
baby potatoes and brown sugar cinnamon glazed carrots. It was truly excellent.
Thanks for the recipe!!

Cooking the cream on high heat instantly boils it and turns it clear. I used
just cream - organic whipping cream - with no thickeners or stabilizers. Is that
the problem? I’m assuming high heat for the sauces isn’t accurate, though no one
else seems to have mentioned it.

It's pretty good and family liked it. Double the sauce amount, sour cream works
fine also. Do NOT add cream component to high temp pan, it will curdle. Just med
is fine and still deglazes pan.

I had to make some minor changes to account for what was on hand but the result
was excellent. I will definitely make it again.

I start with oil instead butter to cook the chicken. When I begin the sauce
that’s when I put the butter in. Also I up the cream to almost a full cup, and
because we love the capers we add more than 2 tablespoons. Flavor with white
wine and lemon just to up it a notch. It’s a family favorite for sure!

Easy recipe that I've made many times. I double the sauce but don't make any
other changes. Serve it over pasta...there are never any leftovers!
