If you’re seasoning your chicken with salt and pepper and calling it good, you’re missing out. Having chicken for dinner is a great excuse to try out new varieties of flavorful marinades and seasonings.
This chicken marinade combines flavors to produce a unique twist on the standard chicken breast. The capers provide a salty taste while the tomatoes, lemon juice and balsamic vinegar balance out that flavor with acidity. To add another level of flavor, dip the cooked chicken into Tzatziki Feta Dip.
