So I decided to grab some inspiration from other recipes online, blend a few ideas together, and create something great! Here is my little creation. I think it turned out really well! If you try it, let me know what you think!

{3} 2 T. Olive Oil
{3} 2 T. Olive Oil
{4} 1 1/4 Cup Chicken Stock
{5} 1 tsp. dried Dill
{6} Zest & Juice from one Lemon
{7} 1/3 Cup Cream
{8} 1/2 Graded Parmesan Cheese
{9} 1 3.5 fl. oz. Jar of Capers
{10} 4 Chicken Breasts
{11} Salt & Pepper
{12} Dash of flour, for rue
{5} 1 tsp. dried Dill
{6} Zest & Juice from one Lemon
{7} 1/3 Cup Cream
{8} 1/2 Graded Parmesan Cheese
{9} 1 3.5 fl. oz. Jar of Capers
{10} 4 Chicken Breasts
{11} Salt & Pepper
{12} Dash of flour, for rue
Directions:
{1} Slowly cook onions and garlic in olive oil over medium heat in heavy sauté pan. Stir frequently until garlic and onions are soft. Don't let the garlic brown.
{2} Add the chicken stock, dried dill, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Turn the heat up to high and let boil for 5 minuets.
{3} Add the cream, Parmesan cheese, and capers to chicken stock mixture, stirring frequently. Allow sauce to come back to a boil. Remove a 1/2 Cup of sauce in measuring cup and sprinkle with flour - whisking quickly with a fork to make a rue (This will thicken the sauce). Pour rue back into sauté pan and mix in with sauce.
{4} Add chicken breasts to sauce lower temperature to a medium heat. The sauce will thicken as the chicken cooks through - but stir frequently. Season with salt & pepper. When chicken is cooked all the way through - serve and enjoy. I recommend serving with couscous!
