INGREDIENTS

  • Chicken and Coating

    • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
    • ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
    • ¼ teaspoon paprika
    • 🍗 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded thin and cut into 2-inch pieces

  • Cooking Fat and Aromatics

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 🧄 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 🧈 4 tablespoons butter, divided

  • Sauce

    • 🍷 1 cup dry white wine
    • ⅓ cup chicken broth
    • 🍋 ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
    • 2 tablespoons capers
    • 🌿 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • Pasta

    • 🍝 1 (8 ounce) package angel hair pasta, cooked and drained

STEPS

1

Whisk together flour, pepper, and paprika in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken pieces until evenly coated.

2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic; cook until golden and fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove garlic and set aside.

3

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet. Add chicken and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.

4

Pour wine into the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to scrape browned bits from the pan. Allow wine to reduce by half, about 5 minutes.

5

Add chicken broth, previously reserved garlic, lemon juice, and capers. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

6

Stir in parsley and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Reduce heat to medium, return chicken to the skillet, and cook until sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.

7

While chicken is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook angel hair pasta for 4-5 minutes and drain.

8

Transfer chicken to a serving dish. Toss pasta in the skillet with the remaining sauce, then portion pasta onto plates and top with chicken.
