Scallops With Lemon & Capers image

This is so quick to make, with a lot of flavor. I only made half the scallops (to serve two) but kept the sauce amount the same so it could also go over steamed asparagus and rice. I suggest skipping the salt - the capers and chicken broth are salty enough. From Woman's Day 3/6/07
