Chicken in Tomato-Caper Sauce image

This is what I call an easy crowd-pleaser. I like to serve this entree with pasta and a nice salad. If you don't have capers, try using diced green olives instead. -Shemaine Rohrbach, Allentown, Pennsylvania

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH TOMATOES AND CAPERS



Chicken Breasts With Tomatoes and Capers image

This recipe was originally developed by Pierre Franey in 1991 for the 60-Minute Gourmet column, a weekly feature dedicated to Times-worthy dishes that were easy, quick and inexpensive. This recipe fit the bill perfectly, and it still does. Just sauté the chicken breasts until they are lightly browned. Then add shallots and garlic, tarragon, tomatoes, vinegar, capers, white wine and tomato paste. Stir well and cook for about 9 minutes more. That's it.
