CHICKEN WITH ONIONS, OLIVES AND CAPERS
Cut this out of our local newspaper eons ago and finally got around to trying it. I loved the fact that the author made it so simple to follow with approximate times for each step so that even the newest cooks could attempt it. Medium high seemed too high on my gas range and everything was cooking too quickly so I went to medium. Other than that, it was easy to follow. We really enjoyed the flavor because we love olives and capers. Next time I'm going to try adding some artichoke hearts!
