Caper and Honey Glazed Chicken With Rice and Sauteed Veggies
We needed a delicious marinade for our chicken breast recipe and we think we have just the thing. It’s made with capers, lemon juice, honey, garlic, and spices, all crushed into the mortar to help release and bring those delicious flavors together. As for the side, we’ve served it with a few sauteed veggies and turmeric-flavored rice.
