Mmmm flavas. So many flavas. Perfectly seasoned, juicy chicken; tangy, rich, creamy tomato sauce; salty, bright capers. So much yumminess. You know what's awesome?? Baking chicken.

I was so in love with this stuff...I immediately wrote it down in my phone to recreate for a blog post! It is similar to a classic hummus, but there is another layer of flavor and texture present from the black beans. So ...
