Anchovies add a savory, salty flavor to the marinade for the chicken in this recipe, as well as to the sauce served with it. Even if you don’t like anchovies, we think you’ll like this dish since they disappear into the sauce, leaving only their rich deep flavor. The tangy, zesty flavor of the capers combines perfectly with the tomatoes and parsley, making a flavorful topping for the chicken. A small amount adds a big taste to this dish that comes together in under 30 minutes. Serve the chicken with grilled asparagus.
