Since I am a lover of capers and olives this was a huge success although I did omit the fresh basil and used seasoned salt and increased the fresh garlic, this is a delicious dish with extreme flavor, next time I will double the recipe, my DH had three pieces of chicken and I could have had a few more myself lol! thank you for sharing hon!...Kitten
