Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Chicken breast
• 12 oz Angel hair
• 1/4 cup Flour
• 3 tbsp Butter
• 2 Lemon
• 2 tbsp Capers
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1/4 cup Parsley

Steps

1. Pound the chicken to an even 1/2 inch and dredge lightly in seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.
2. Sear in the olive oil 3 minutes per side until deep golden; set aside.
3. Melt the butter with the garlic 1 minute, then add the lemon juice and 1 cup of pasta water, scraping up the fond.
4. Stir in the capers and simmer 3 minutes until slightly syrupy.
5. Toss the al dente angel hair through the sauce until every strand shines.
6. Slice the chicken, fan over the pasta, and finish with parsley and extra lemon.
