Chicken in spicy sauce
Description
To prepare chicken in a spicy sauce, you will need chicken breasts and a few capers (optional—you can omit them or replace with pickles). Instead of lemon, I sometimes use lime. Choose dry white wine. By the way, the finished dish pairs wonderfully with vegetables, such as asparagus or green beans.
