Chicken With Roasted Peppers And Capers







Folks, there's chicken and then, "There's Chicken".  I know, you're saying to yourselves, "Chicken again?"  But this recipe is different. 

Sometimes it just takes a few ordinary ingredients added together in a new combination to make a dish come alive.  This recipe is the one that does just that.  I've said it before and I'll say it again.  A recipe does not have to be complicated to be delicious.  Most of the time, simple and quick is the perfect way to go. Even a cooking novice could make this in under 30 minutes from start to finish........
