Funny. I never can find them. Maybe they just don't carry them up here.
I have never ever used capers.....and it still comes out very tasty.

Don't use them if they are that old.....one never knows about botulism, etc. I'm serious. Even refrigerated stuff has an expiration date.

Good luck with the recipe......it just looks big and daunting, but it is not.

If you do not like the flavor of lemons, you can skip putting the lemons into the cooking part of the receipe.........and just use the lemon juice.
That would give it a milder lemon flavor.

But do garnish with nice fresh lemon slices. The white wine adds a nice touch, but if you don't have it on hand........again, I've made it both ways. You do need the chicken broth and lemon "juice" though....so get enough lemons to squeeze.
