Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions while you make the chicken.
  2. Toss the cubed chicken in 1 tablespoon of flour until coated. Heat a deep nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet. Add the chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Brown the chicken until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Remove it from the skillet and onto a plate. Return the skillet to the heat and reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the tablespoon of butter, shallots and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes and then add the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Whisk in the wine and reduce the liquid for approximately 1 minute. Whisk the lemon juice and chicken broth into sauce. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the capers and parsley. When the sauce comes to a bubble, add the chicken back to the skillet along with the pasta and heat through. Taste for seasoning and serve.
