Meal # 5 Coconut Chicken with Lemon and Capers and Rice



This meal was a hit! I don't have any fun stories or mishaps but many people tried this and loved it. The capers were new to me and I wasn't even sure what a caper was. I found them near the olives in Publix and bought a generic brand so that if I loved them I could be okay with a non-brand taste and my taste buds would not get snobby. I got home and opened the jar, first I took a whiff and I was not impressed. Then I poked and protruded this little vinegar covered berry. Not impressed at all. But when I added them to my coconut sauce with the lemons and let the aroma waft into my nose, I was in heaven! They really made my dish. The lemons complemented them along with the onions and coconut milk. I could not stop smelling it as it simmered in the saucepan. Then I layered rice, chicken and draped the sauce on the top, threw it in the oven. It looked kinda like a casserole but had a Thai flavor. The recipe I found was terrific and detailed. I will use that website again. I made a lot of people taste it and the overall grade was 3.5 Stars. That's only because 2 people didn't like my lovely capers. My grade? 4 big shiny stars!
