Garlic scape breath

I feel a little bit like Julie from the movie Julie and Julia blogging about recipes that I'm cooking, but I promise to only write about food that comes out of the garden. So tonight's theme is garlic, scapes that is. It seems that garlic scapes were not a big seller out in the garage market that I've set up so I brought them inside and looked up a couple of recipes. I decided to make chicken with garlic scapes and capers and I served it over mashed potatoes with garlic scapes. The dinner tasted pretty good, but it is clear that I will need to carry a box of tic tacs with me tomorrow.

Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm. Pour off the fat from the skillet and add remaining butter, wine, lemon juice, scapes and bring to a boil. Simmer until scapes soften. Stir in capers and season with s & p to taste. Spoon over chicken and serve. Serves 4.
