So great and very simple to make! I didn’t buy enough spinach so I cooked some pasta in the chicken broth to add to it! Wonderful! I definitely will be making this again!
Do you have a favorite (or suggested) brand of capers? I bought some to try in this recipe but they were too pickled tasting. The whole flavor of the dish was off.
Hmm, I don’t know that I have ever paid attention. Perhaps a reader might have a suggestion?
I used Crosse& Blackwell. They worked great
I often use Trader Joe’s capers to great success. The jar is wide-mouthed, so it’s a lot easier to get them out with any spoon!
I like to use chopped canned artichokes instead of spinach. I try to cook the chicken with just non-stick spray then swirl in the butter to the sauce at the end. Eliminating the olive oil for cooking cuts back on the fat but that bit of butter brings a lot of flavor and richness to the sauce.
