  • Cook Time: 50 mins
  • Serving Size: 4 Servings

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded thin, cut into 2-inch pieces) (or left whole but will cook slower))
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp butter (divided)
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • ⅓ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 2 tbsp of artichokes quartered

  • 1 tsp of sea salt

Directions

Prep the Chicken:

  1. Mix flour, pepper, and paprika in a shallow dish.
  2. Lightly dredge chicken pieces in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

Cook the Chicken:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add garlic and sauté until golden (about 1 min), then remove and set aside.
  3. Add 2 tbsp butter to the skillet.
  4. Cook chicken until browned (about 5 minutes per side), then transfer to a plate.

Make the Sauce:

  1. Pour wine into the skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits.
  2. Reduce wine by half (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, capers, artichokes and reserved garlic. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in parsley, salt (if chicken stock is not salted) and remaining 2 tbsp butter.

Finish the Chicken

  1. Return chicken to the skillet.
  2. Simmer until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through (about 15 minutes or internal temp to 165 degrees).

Cook the Pasta

  1. Boil angel hair pasta in salted water until al dente (4–5 minutes). Drain well.

Serve:

  1. Toss pasta in the skillet with the sauce.
  2. Plate pasta, top with chicken, and spoon extra sauce over the top.
