A classic dish with a twist, brandy.  I should follow my own rule of always having all the ingredients on hands, and tonight somehow we did not have any white wine at the house. Plenty of red, that for sure, but white, not a bottle in sight. I had to come up with something on the spot, therefore, I decided to use brandy instead of white wine. It was delicious!

After all, what is brandy? Brandy is a spirit produced by distilling wine, aged on wooden barrels. Of course, alcohol volume is slightly higher.

The brandy with chicken broth, garlic, capers, and lemon juice was just out of this world. A richer texture and the last piece of butter made it all bind well together.  I love it better than the original classic and look forward to preparing it again.

We had a green mixed salad on the side. Mashed potatoes, pasta with lemon sauce, roasted vegetables, are great side dishes too.

As always, make sure that the heat is off when adding alcohol to any dishes that you are cooking on the stove.
