I am super picky about the flavor of my food, I have zero tolerance for bland food. When I eat I need to taste the flavor immediately and it needs to be distinctive. It drives my family nuts that I often reach for the salt or the pepper after eating the first bite of my dinner, but I just have to have the flavor.

This recipe is a flavor lovers dream come true. I will be honest with you, I was doubtful about how flavorful it would be the first time I made it because the sauce was thin and I wasn’t sure that it would coat the chicken and the squash enough to really add to the dish. I was wrong. The lemon and the capers really pop and every single bite of this dish was jam packed with a wonderful, light, refreshing flavor.

Honestly, I think this is going to be my new go-to dish when I have people over for dinner because I just don’t see how anyone wouldn’t love it! I hope you feel the same.
