What Are Capers
Capers are the edible flower buds that grow on a perennial plant called Capparis spinosa or Flinders rose.
Capers
Capers are about the size of corn kernels. They typically harvested and pickled or used as a seasoning or garnishment.
Due to their strong taste, it’s best to use capers sparingly. They are purchased in jars and are ready to use.
Just give them a rinse so as to remove some of the salt or vinegar, which allows the true flavor of the caper to come through in the dish.

Capers have a flavor described as lemony, olivey, and salty. Much of the briny, vinegary taste comes from packaging.
If you like this dish featured but find you do not like the flavor of capers, they can be easily substituted for finely chopped green olives.

Push the vegetables to the sides of the skillet, and add the chicken back.
