Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenders cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 pound Delallo Organic Whole Wheat Gemelli Pasta
- 4 tablespoons flour divided (any variety)
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 small red onion halved and sliced thin
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 cup chicken stock
- 3 ounces capers drained
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, chop the chicken, onion, and herbs. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and oil.
- Drop the pasta in the boiling water and cook as instructed on the package (about 8 minutes) then drain. Once the butter is melted, salt and pepper the chicken liberally and toss with 2 tablespoons flour. Place the chicken pieces in the hot butter and saute for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to dry.
- Add the rosemary, garlic and onions to the butter and saute for 1 minute. Then whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons flour to thicken the sauce. Cook for another minute, then whisk in the lemon juice and chicken stock.
- Once the sauce is simmering again, toss in the pasta, capers and parsley. Mix in the chicken and serve warm.
