Ingredients
  • 0.33333334326744 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded thin and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 0.33333331346512 cup chicken broth
  • 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 8 ounce package angel hair pasta, cooked and drained

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Whisk flour, pepper, and paprika together in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour mixture until evenly coated.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until golden and fragrant, about 1 minute; transfer to a plate.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet. Add chicken and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
  5. Pour wine into the hot skillet and bring to a boil over high heat, scraping the browned bits from the bottom and sides of the pan with a wooden spoon. Boil until wine is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  6. Whisk in chicken broth, reserved garlic, lemon juice, and capers; cook for 5 minutes.
  7. Stir in parsley and remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
  8. Reduce the heat to medium, return chicken to the skillet, and continue cooking until sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.
  9. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well.
  10. Transfer chicken pieces to a serving dish and drizzle with a few tablespoons sauce. Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with remaining sauce. Portion noodles onto serving plates and top with chicken.
