Lemon Caper Chicken

Crispy chicken cooked in a lemon-buttery sauce and then topped with capers - delicious!

This is one of my favourite weeknight recipes that is on rotation at my house! It is a great weeknight dinner as it’s quick and relatively healthy.

The chicken is cooked until crispy and then you make the beautiful lemon butter sauce and return the chicken to the pan and top with one of my favourite things - capers!

I love to serve this with a fresh green salad and some potatoes. I hope you love it as much as I do!
