Looking for tasty chicken breast recipes? Try this one skillet meal, chicken with creamy lemon caper sauce and pasta.

Capers are the small, unopened flower buds of a Mediterranean bush. You can purchase capers at any grocery store, generally pickled in vinegar and packed in jars. Capers provide a piquant not to sauces, dressings, and salads. Capers in vinegar should last for months in the original jar in the refrigerator after opening. Salt-packed capers may be stored for several months at room temperature in an airtight container. Be sure to drain off liquid before using capers packed in vinegar. Salt-packed capers should be rinsed and dried.
