Ingredients
-
NOTE: the measurments used to calculate calories are rough estimates, and for 1 serving. The following ingredients make about a single serving , but I usually make about 3 servings at a time.(use your judgement!)
One serving thin pasta, like capellini or angel hair
Enough flour to coat the chicken breasts (just fill a dish, you'll throw most of it away)
1/4 cup chicken broth
dash of salt, to taste
dash of pepper, to taste
enough EVOO to coat the pan
garlic, to taste
1/4 cup white wine (I like Francis Copolla's Pinot Grigio)
lemon juice (I usually juice half a fresh lemon into the pan)
sprinkle of parsley
capers, to taste (remember they have lots of salt!)
1/2 tsp margerine per serving.
Directions
Start pasta boiling, as this will take a while. When it appears done, drain, rinse and set aside.
Begin to heat oil in pan.
Cover a dish with flour, coat the chicken breasts on both sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add to hot oil, brown on both sides. Set aside on plate, leave pan on heat.
Add garlic, white wine to pan, cook 1-2 minutes. Add chicken broth and about 2tsps flour per serving to pan. Simmer and cook until slightly thickened, or 5 minutes.
Add parsley, capers, butter, and lemon juice. Return chicken to pan until cooked through, if not already. Add pasta to pan, remove from heat, and toss. Serve hot.
Enjoy!
