Ingredients

    4 ounces angel hair pasta
    2 (4-ounce) chicken cutlets (about 1/8 inch thick)
    1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1 tablespoons olive oil
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    1 tablespoons minced shallot
    1/8 cup fresh lemon juice
    1/4 cup dry white wine
    1 tablespoons capers, drained
    1 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped and divided

Directions

1. Prepare pasta according to package directions.

2. Meanwhile, sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until brown and cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate, and keep warm. Wipe skillet clean.
