Crock Pot Lemon Italian Chicken with Capers

It is such a great time of year to cook dinner in the crock pot.  It is 91 degrees in Arizona today, which makes it especially nice to keep the oven off.  Lemon Italian Chicken with Capers is delicious and easy to make.  The combination of flavors, with the added capers, is really yummy! The chicken, sauce, and capers are great served over whole grain pasta.
