Ingredients
-
4-6 ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 Tablespoons fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 Cup all purpose flour
1 Tablespoon real butter
2 Tablespoons Olive oil
2 cloves chopped garlic or about 3 teaspoons

1 Tablespoon White Balsamic Vinegar
Juice of one lemon or about 3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers

Tips
Cook the pasta to slightly less than done. Since this dish comes together rather quickly it will not hurt the pasta to sit for the time it takes to prepare this meal.
If you like you can prepare the pasta ahead of time, drain it and put it in the fridge in a covered bowl or zip lock baggie. When you are ready for the pasta just put it in a pot of boiling water for about 1 minute to heat it, drain it and you're ready to go.
Directions
Prepare the spaghetti following the manufactures directions until al dente'. Remove from heat, do not drain and set aside.
Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/4 inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap and set aside.
Mix the flour and greated parmesan cheese together. Rinse the chicken breasts with water and dredge them thououghly in the flour mixture.
Heat the olive oil and butter over high heat in a non stick pan and add two of the chicken breasts. Brown well on both sides, about 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Cook other 2 chicken breasts and place on plate also.
Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
Add the lemon juice, chicken stock, capers and white balsamic vinegar to pan and scrape the bottom of the pan to losen the brown bits.
Cook over medium heat until mixture reduces by half, this only take a minute or two.
Remove from the heat and add the yogurt, wisk until well blended.
Drain spaghetti and divide onto 4 plates.
