Ingredients

    1 1/4 lbs (625 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast
    2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil, divided
    1 1/2 tbsp (22 mL) Lemon Pepper Rub
    3 cans (14 oz each) 33% reduced-sodium chicken broth (about 6 cups/1.5 L)
    1/2 medium onion
    12 oz (350 g) uncooked angel hair pasta
    1 lemon
    2 oz (60 g) cream cheese, softened
    1 can (14 oz or 398 mL) quartered artichoke hearts in water, drained
    1/4 cup cup (50 mL) capers, drained and rinsed
    Chopped fresh parsley and grated fresh Parmesan cheese (optional)




Directions

Cut chicken into 1-in. (2.5-cm) pieces on Cutting Board. Combine chicken, 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil and rub in Stainless (4-qt./4-L) Mixing Bowl; toss to coat. Heat remaining oil in (12-in./30-cm) Skillet over medium-high heat 1–3 minutes or until shimmering. Add chicken to Skillet; cook and stir 10 minutes or until chicken is golden brown and centers are no longer pink. Remove chicken from Skillet; set aside.


Meanwhile, pour broth into Large Micro-Cooker®; microwave, covered, on HIGH 8–10 minutes or until broth comes to a boil. On clean cutting board, chop onion using Food Chopper. Add onion to Skillet; cook 10–20 seconds or until onion is fragrant. Carefully add broth and pasta to Skillet; cook, uncovered, 7–8 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.


Zest lemon with Microplane® Adjustable Grater to measure 1 tbsp (15 mL). Juice lemon with Juicer to measure 2 tbsp (30 mL). Add zest, juice and cream cheese to Skillet; stir until cream cheese is fully incorporated. Add chicken and artichokes to Skillet. Cook, covered, 1–2 minutes or until heated through. Remove Skillet from heat; stir in capers. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan cheese, if desired
