  • Yield: 2-3 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ lb chicken thighs, diced
  • 2 ½ tbsp butter of choice
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tbsp capers, drained
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ lb pasta of choice
  • ½ cup grated Romano cheese or parmesan cheese
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook pasta according to package instructions.
  2. Season the flour with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper, and dredge the diced chicken in the flour mixture until fully coated.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and pour in your olive oil. Once hot, begin to fry your chicken until golden brown all over.
  4. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan, and add butter, while scraping any leftover brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. When the butter melts, add in the white wine, lemon juice, lemon slices, drained capers, parsley, the remaining salt, and remaining pepper, stirring with a wooden spoon. Let simmer for one minute.
  6. Add the pasta, chicken, grated Romano cheese, and some extra pasta water if desired into the creamy lemon sauce. Let sit for a few minutes, and serve immediately, topping with extra lemon slices, grated cheese, and parsley.
  7. Store in an airtight container for up to five days.
