Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 chicken breasts boneless skinless
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher sea salt
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
  • 3 tsp capers
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 lb angel hair pasta
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. If using whole chicken breasts, slice them in half to about 3/8 to 1/2 inch thickness and pound thin using a meat tenderizer inside a bag or under plastic wrap.
  2. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl, rinse chicken pieces, then coat them well with the flour mixture.
  3. Bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta.
  4. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  5. Brown the chicken breasts on both sides for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, then remove them from the pan and keep covered with foil to stay warm.
  6. Lower the heat slightly and add mushrooms, 3 tablespoons of butter, and salt to the pan. Sauté the mushrooms until they start browning, then set them aside with the chicken.
  7. Pour white wine into the pan and scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom.
  8. Stir in 6 tablespoons of butter, garlic, and lemon juice, cooking until the butter melts.
  9. Add the cream, Parmesan cheese, and capers and heat until the sauce bubbles and thickens a bit.
  10. Return the mushrooms and chicken to the skillet.
  11. Stir in fresh parsley and serve the chicken and sauce immediately over angel hair pasta with lemon slices if desired.
