*** Chicken with Caper Cream Sauce


  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of visible fat
  • 2 tsp lemon pepper
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp fresh dill
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, diced
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 2 Tbsp dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 Tbsp capers, drained and rinsed
Thoroughly season chicken with lemon pepper, sea salt, black pepper, dill, and garlic powder. Then marinate chicken breasts for at least 2 hours in lemon juice.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sugar, and saute for 5 minutes. Then place breasts in skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Turn chicken frequently until brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 5-7 minutes or until breasts are cooked through. Remove chicken, cover with foil, and keep warm.

Increase heat to high, and whisk in wine and heavy cream. Whisk until mixture is reduced to a sauce-like consistency, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in capers. Pour sauce over chicken and serve.

Makes 4 servings, 12 WW PointsPlus each.
