Chicken in Lemon Caper Butter

The first dish I ever served to guests and the response I got was so positive I've been making it ever since. Needless to say, it's a very simple recipe. One of the few chicken dishes I still make using bone-in, skin-on chicken parts. When feeding known garlic-lovers, I'll increase the garlic. I generally serve it with noodles. While I post the original amounts from the recipe below, I actually do not measure the butter & lemon juice when I make this, but rather use 1 lemon's worth lemon juice and approximately the same or just slightly more butter, so that the butter comes to about 2-3 Tbs I would guess.
SERVES 4 -6
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 garlic clove, pressed or garlic clove, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 (6 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
- 1 tablespoon drained capers
- 1 (3 lb) frying chickens, cut up or 3 lbs chicken parts
Directions
1
Put the ingredients butter through capers in a skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.2
Arrange the chicken in the skillet and bring to a boil again.3
Cover, lower heat and simmer about 30 minutes until the chicken is tender, turning several times. 4.

I made this using halibut instead of chicken and it was delicious! I will try chicken next time. I also used fresh mushrooms since I hate canned ones but left everything else the same. Thanks for the recipe! It will be added to my regulars. Directions are great, so simple.

Taste easily 5 stars. However, directions are 3 stars. Aside from the butter, capers, and chicken there are no directions as what to do with lemon juice, mushrooms, garlic, and seasonings. I was surprised with so many reviews that this has not been addressed. I seasoned the breasts wtih salt, pepper, and paprika. I used fresh mushrooms so sauteed them first and removed from pan to saute chicken in butter, lemon, and capers. I used boneless, skinless, thighs so mine cooked in about 20 minutes. I added the cooked mushrooms at the last few minutes to heat up. Served over whole wheat linguine. The flavor really was delicious; I hope the chef revises the directions.

I'm giving this a 5 star for the wonderful flavor and juicy tenderness of the chicken. However, I would highly recommend that you decrease the butter to 1/4 cup or even less and broil to brown the chicken after it has simmered. Makes for a nice crispy crust. I used fresh mushrooms instead of the canned and three cloves of garlic. I simmered my chicken thighs for about 40 minutes and broiled it for about 5 minutes, served it on a bed of basmamti rice and it turned out great. This is one of those make often recipes. Absolutely wonderful.

TENDER! Tender! TENDER!This is an easy recipe and can be made better by cutting the butter in half! That`s a lot of fat. I browned the seasoned chicken thighs in the melted 4 tablespoons of butter. Then added the 3 cloves minced garlic, fresh mushrooms and the rest of the ingredients. Simmered for 1/2 an hour. I do wish I put it under the broiler to recrisp the skin. We discarded th skin But my DH would have eaten it crisp! Added a couple of more capers to brighten it up. Anyway it is fabulous!
