Mean, what a cool recipe! A local restaurant adds fried capers to their caesar salad. Now I'm comfortable trying that at home. I didn't have much 'sauce' in the end, but what I did have was flavorful enough that I didn't need any more. I had one hand bare and the other wearing a disposable glove. The glove hand was for handling raw chicken. It made things simpler for me. Delicious leftover, straight out of the refigerator the next day, too. -
My husband and I had this for dinner last night. It wasn't bad, at all, but it sure didn't jump up and down and beat me over the head with the floppy end of the cutlet, either. Perhaps it just wasn't suited to our taste, which is too bad- it sounded quite good. -
The fried capers have an interesting taste. I like it. Really easy work-night meal. -
These were very good and very easy! I doubled the sauce put the Chicken on top of some Angel Hair pasta and poured the sauce over all. I usually always have these ingredients on hand so this is a keeper for a quick weeknight meal. Thanks

I am a single mom in Seattle. I enjoy a wide variety of activities including reading, crafts, sports (my son plays baseball and football), cooking, and just about anything else you can think of. We have 2 dogs, Thunder and Lightning...my taste testers. I have lived in this area most of my life. Everytime I move away, I come back because it's so beautiful. I have been hopping on Zaar for a while now, perusing recipes and getting ideas. I figured it was time to contribute back to the site...add some recipes and reviews.
