12 ounces uncooked angel hair pasta

Add chicken to hot 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 bowl, cover and microwave HIGH 8-10 minutes or until broth comes to a boil. On clean cutting board, chop onion. Add onion to skillet; cook 10-20 seconds or until onion is and fragrant. Carefully add broth and pasta to Skillet; cook, uncovered, 7-8 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Zest lemon to measure 1 tablespoon. Juice lemon to measure 2 tablespoons. 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 from heat; stir in capers. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/3 pounds chicken breast tenders, cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 shallots, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white wine
1 lemon, juiced
1 cup chicken broth or stock
3 tablespoons capers, drained
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 pound penne rigate pasta, cooked to al dente
Chopped or snipped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a deep nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and the chicken to the pan. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Brown chicken until lightly golden all over, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and return the skillet to the heat. Reduce heat to medium. Add another tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter, the garlic and shallots to the skillet. Saute garlic and shallots 3 minutes. Add flour and cook 2 minutes. Whisk in wine and reduce liquid 1 minute. Whisk lemon juice and broth into sauce. Stir in capers and parsley. When the liquid comes to a bubble, add remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter to the sauce to give it a little shine. Add chicken back to the pan and heat through, 1 to 2 minutes. Toss hot pasta with chicken and sauce and serve. Adjust salt and pepper, to your taste. Top with fresh snipped chives.

CHICKEN PICCATA PASTA

I came up with this recipe while contemplating what to do with leftover chicken. It turned out so good, I had to post it to preserve it. I didn't add all of the cooked pasta to the pan so I could preserve some for kids, and because I like a lot of sauce to cover my noodles.

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

16 ounces thin spaghetti
2 -3 cups chicken, cooked and sliced
14 1/2 ounces chicken stock
6 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup dry white wine
6 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup capers, drained
14 1/2 ounces artichoke quarters in water
1/2 cup half-and-half, fat free
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 ounces spinach, fresh baby
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1/4 cup parsley, fresh chopped

Steps:

  • Cook pasta as directed on the package, set aside.
  • While cooking, heat the chicken stock in the microwave to warm, add the chicken and set aside.
  • Melt butter and oil in a large skillet/sauce pan.
  • Add wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil, reduce heat and return to simmer.
  • Add artichoke quarters, capers, broth and chicken.
  • Slowly bring back to boil.
  • Mix half and half and flour until smooth, add to boiling sauce to thicken.
  • Remove from heat, then add spinach and noodles, toss.
  • Top with parsley and parmesan.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Organic chicken, fresh vegetables, and flavorful herbs will make a big difference.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still tender. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. A dry Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio are good choices.
  • Reduce the sauce until it is slightly thickened. This will help it to coat the chicken and pasta perfectly.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce and cook until it is al dente. This means that it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Serve the chicken piccata pasta immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or basil.

Conclusion:

Chicken piccata pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give chicken piccata pasta a try!
