Chicken With Onions, Olives and Capers

Submitted by Texas Aggie Mom

"Cut this out of our local newspaper eons ago and finally got around to trying it. I loved the fact that the author made it so simple to follow with approximate times for each step so that even the newest cooks could attempt it. Medium high seemed too high on my gas range and everything was cooking too quickly so I went to medium. Other than that, it was easy to follow. We really enjoyed the flavor because we love olives and capers. Next time I'm going to try adding some artichoke hearts!"

This is absolutely scrumptious. I did have a problem with my chicken being a bit tough but I don't think it had anything to do with the recipe. Next time I may try it with legs or thighs. When I opened my green olives they smelled a bit off, I think they had been around too long, so I subbed with Kalamata olives and they were yummy. I do think I will put in another slice of bacon next time as that flavour got lost. I can't wait to serve this to the family when they are all home. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
