Creamy Caper Sauce with Pan Seared Chicken
High five for decadent mid week meals! Even though, it’s Thursday – this easy cream sauce comes into in less than 5 minutes and coats the chicken just right.
Pan sear the salt and pepper chicken. Set aside and use the same pan with all the drippings to begin the sauce. Melt the butter, garlic, capers and parsley together. Add in extra black pepper and spoon it all over the chicken.
It’s still healthy, light, filling, tasty and the quickest clean up!
What to serve it with?
I made some Jovial gluten free pasta. The 100% Organic Brown Rice Pasta Egg Tagliatelle was the perfect choice to pair with the chicken and creamy sauce.
AND let me just say, the pasta soaks up a lot of the sauce. I spooned extra on top to dip each bite of chicken and pasta in. SO GOOD!
