Chicken in Mustard and Capers Cream Sauce Recipe

Hola Amigos! This one is an after school snack for little ones! Mine loves chicken, everything creamy and sandwiches on soft flaky bread are among his best friends. Put it all together and you have a happy kid and a mom with enough time to plan for dinner without stress.

Super easy recipe, could be done with leftover rotisserie chicken or with the lonely chicken breast left on the package after you have cooked that big meal ( for some crazy reason I always have 1 seasoned piece of chicken left from the family package).

If you don't have any croissants available, no problem I used them because they were out of our favorite Honey Buttermilk Biscuits at the store. My little one is crazy about them and this chicken goes great with them.

And last but not least if you are wondering what role the capers play, well they are that little note of saltiness and tangy flavor on the creamy sauce, just like olives. Who would have thought a 5 year old would do the happy dance every time he bites into one? he picks the mushrooms out of his pizza, but loves capers, go figure.

This is one of my favorite recipes for using leftover chicken since I'm all about using everything and on of my guys's favorite for lunch or light dinner! Everybody happy. Hope you are too when you try it at your home. Remember  my friends,everything tastes better with a Pinch Of Love!

Besitos,
