Directions
Pan Roasted Chicken Breasts With Lemon and Caper Sauce,From Cook’s Illustrated. Very much like Chicken Piccatta, but moister, with less hands-on time required. But also not as quick – the choice is yours. (I must warn you that the skillet handle is HOT when removed from the oven. Despite repeated reminders to myself, I still grabbed it while making the sauce.),Love one skillet dishes cuz “pot and pans”…are two dirty words too many!
