Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup capers, drained
- 8 ounces spaghetti or linguine pasta
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Lemon slices, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in flour, shaking off excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add white wine and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers; simmer for 3-4 minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return to the skillet; toss to coat in sauce.
- Add pasta to the skillet and gently toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and garnish with lemon slices if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For an extra creamy texture, stir in a tablespoon of heavy cream to the sauce just before adding the chicken back in.
