Chicken Breast Raclette

"The idea for this recipe originated last Winter after tasting French and Swiss Raclette Cheese which I had purchased for the Holidays. My objective was to combine the marvelous flavors of the Raclette Cheese with capers and caper brine marinade. http://home.earthlink.net/--egeorgect/kitchenscience/id13.html"
