Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Chicken stock
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons Capers, drained
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
• 8 ounces Angel hair pasta
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound them to an even 1/4-inch thickness using a mallet or rolling pin.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and is sizzling, add the floured chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken to a plate and keep warm.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the white wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Cook for 2 minutes to let the wine reduce slightly.

Step 5

Add the chicken stock, lemon juice, and capers to the skillet. Stir and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to reduce and intensify in flavor.

Step 6

Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the pieces. Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 7

Meanwhile, cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions in a pot of salted boiling water. Drain the pasta and toss it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 8

To serve, plate the angel hair pasta and place a piece of chicken scaloppine on top. Spoon extra sauce over the chicken and pasta. Garnish with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
