Yes, yes!!! this is a winner. DING DING!! Since I just had one large chicken breast, I sliced it. Followed the recipe with the exception of (I forgot) to add the capers (yes, I had some in the fridge) and added a chopped Roma tomato subbed for the canned tomatofor one breast. MMM. Wonderful fresh taste and low-cal...delicious. Made for the Mediterranean Cruise event in Cooking Photos.

I am a stay at home (or in the car:)) mom to two cute kids-ages 7 & 4-and one husband! He's pretty cute too....We live in Fullerton,California, which is also where I grew up. I love, love, love to cook, drink wine with friends, shop, travel, read magazines and collect cookbooks. I have zillions of them and love to sit on the couch with a good cookbook! I belong to a guild of Children's Hospital of Orange County(CHOC) and we recently just finished our own cookbook to raise funds for the hospital. I also enjoy shopping and selling on ebay-so many fun things to find out there! Thanks Liza at recipezaar (my college roomate) for leading me here.
