Chicken with Lemon and Capers

I wish chicken was more interesting to talk about. But it's pretttty boring. Not like brownies and cake.

But chicken is such a staple in my diet. It's so versatile. And chicken cutlets? Oh em geeeee they are so simple yet so good.

And this recipe is so simple. And so good. Go make it for dinner!

2. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and lemon zest.

  1. Can I come over for dinner? Dad's away and I ate peanut butter and jelly last night when I got home from my parent meeting at 8:30.

  2. Momma just made this dish with grilled romaine heart, a homemade vinaigrette dressing and some sweet potato fries and I must say YUM, YUM, YUM. That was the best tasting chicken dish I had in a long time. Keep those recipes coming! I'm thinking I need to change my blog to: Meals my daughter made!
