- Cook the chicken until it is no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side.
- Transfer to the plate that the mushrooms are on.
- Add chicken stock and the marinade to the frying pan.

- Cook for about 3 minutes.

- Stir until melted.
- Add the capers.

Serve the chicken covered with mushrooms and pour some of the sauce over the top. It works very well over rice which soaks up the flavor from the sauce.
