Ingredients for chicken

• 2-8 oz. chicken breasts, butterflied
• Salt and pepper to taste

Ingredient for potatoes

• 6-8 baby red potatoes
• 1/4 pound butter
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespooon chopped rosemary
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon pepper

Ingredients for lemon caper sauce

• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoon capers
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper

In medium stockpot, place red potatoes and cover with 2 inches of water; bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 20 minutes; set butter out to soften. In a small stockpot, start caper sauce; over low heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter, slowly whisking in flour until a paste like consistency is achieved; increase heat to medium-high, and add remaining ingredients while whisking to prevent burning; cook until desired thickness is achieved; set aside

While potatoes are cooking, pat chicken breasts dry and cook using preferred method (grill recommended!) season to taste and set aside, keeping warm.

When potatoes are at desired level of tenderness, strain and return to pot; add heavy cream, 1/4 pound butter and seasonings, and mash until smooth (we prefer ours a little chunky)

To plate, put down two scoops of potatoes, placing 1 chicken breast on top for each serving; pour caper sauce over breast, garnish and serve with a side of your choice. Bon Appetit!
