Today I'm going to share a recipe that is one of our favorites- Garlic Lemon Chicken with Capers.When I want to “Wow!” guests, this is one of my go – to recipes. It's super delicious and easy to make and I've learned that it is perfect for big parties!

When our daughter graduated high school I waited too long to book a caterer, so we needed to put together a menu for her party. We ordered a few items from local places such as a sub platter and fruit platter, but had to make the rest ourselves. This is when I really put my garlic lemon chicken with capers dish to the test; I needed to see how well it would freeze and how well it could be doubled to feed a large crowd.

Garlic Lemon Chicken with Capers Freezes Great!

Because we don't have a lot of storage space, I needed to freeze a few dishes ahead of time and this was one of them. I was a bit nervous to freeze it because I wasn't sure how the sauce would react with the rest of the dish, but I really did not have a choice. A week before the party, I made a huge batch, filling two half-trays and then crossed my fingers it would work! The night before the party, I took each tray out and let them defrost in the fridge. When the chafing trays were ready, I set them in, placed the cover on top and hoped for the best.

Perfect Dish for Grad Parties!

With trays of ziti, sausage & peppers, my dad's awesome eggplant parm, lemon garlic chicken with capers, subs, salads and snacks- the first dish to disappear was the chicken! In fact, I had guests ask me a few times if they could have the recipe.

I shared this recipe on Facebook with a friend, who was making this for a dinner party and she was privy to the “audible sounds of delight” from her guests.

So, when you make this recipe- because I know you will- let me know how it turns out!
