Chicken in Caper Cream Sauce #Recipe @PegCochran

Capers and cream sound like an odd combination but this was quite tasty.  I was a little hesitant about using garlic powder, but it turned out well.  I did use only two breasts and cut them in half horizontally since they were quite large.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed

Season chicken breasts with lemon pepper, salt, dill and garlic powder.

 
Melt butter iover medium heat. Add breasts and increase heat to medium-high. 

Brown chicken on each side, approximately five minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook another five to seven minutes or until done.  Your timing will vary according to the size of your breasts.  Your chicken breasts. Not your breasts.  Just want to make that clear.

Remove chicken to a platter and cover with foil while you make the sauce.
 
Increase heat to high. Whisk in whipping cream, whisking until thickened to sauce consistency approximately three minutes. 

Remove from heat. Stir in capers. Pour sauce over chicken, and serve.

A Park Avenue princess discovers the dark side of 1930s New York when a debutante ball turns deadly in this gripping historical mystery for readers of Victoria Thompson, Anne Perry, and Rhys Bowen.

Manhattan, 1938. Tired of being trapped in the gilded cage of her family’s expectations, Elizabeth Adams has done what no self-respecting socialite would think to do: She’s gotten herself a job. Although Elizabeth’s dream is to one day see her photographs on the front page of the Daily Trumpet, for now she’s working her way up as the newsroom’s gal Friday.

But fetching coffee isn’t exactly her idea of fun, so when veteran reporter Ralph Kaminsky needs a photographer to fill in for a last-minute assignment, Elizabeth jumps at the chance. At the Waldorf Hotel, Elizabeth is tasked with tracking down the season’s “It girl,” Gloria DeWitt, who will be making her society debut. Working her own connections to New York’s upper crust, Elizabeth manages to land an exclusive interview with Gloria.

Then Gloria’s stepmother is shot dead in a Waldorf bathroom, placing Elizabeth at the scene of a headline-worthy scandal: “Murder of a Society Dame.” Now Elizabeth will have to get the scoop on the killer before her good name gets dragged through the gossip columns—or worse. . . .
