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

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.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or pot: This will help ensure that the pasta has enough room to cook evenly and that the sauce doesn't splatter everywhere.
  • Salt the water before cooking the pasta: This will help to flavor the pasta and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions: Different types of pasta have different cooking times, so be sure to check the package to make sure you're cooking it correctly.
  • Reserve some of the pasta cooking water: This water can be used to thin out the sauce or to add moisture to the pasta if it starts to dry out.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when adding the pasta: This will prevent the pasta from sticking together and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Stir the pasta frequently while cooking: This will help to prevent it from sticking together and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Add the sauce to the pasta in the skillet: This will help to coat the pasta evenly and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Serve the pasta immediately: This will ensure that it's at its best flavor and texture.
