Description
Chicken piccata served over fettuccine is a quick Italian-inspired meal to prepare for weeknight dinners or gourmet dinner parties.
Ingredients
•
6 ounces fettuccine
•
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
•
1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
•
1 pound chicken breasts, cut into four 1/2-inch thick pieces
•
2 tablespoons olive oil
•
1/3 cup white wine
•
2 tablespoons lemon juice
•
2 tablespoons water
•
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
•
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained
•
1/2 lemon, cut into wedges, or as desired
•
4 sprigs fresh parsley, or as desired
Directions
1
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the fettuccine, bring back to a boil, and cook pasta over medium heat until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
2
Whisk flour and lemon-pepper seasoning together in a shallow bowl; dredge chicken through mixture until evenly coated, shaking excess back into bowl.
3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook chicken until light golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 6 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate, retaining oil mixture in the skillet.
4
Mix white wine, lemon juice, water, and chicken bouillon granules into oil mixture in the skillet. Bring liquid to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon until sauce is slightly reduced, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir capers into sauce.
5
Divide pasta among serving plates; top with chicken. Spoon sauce over chicken and garnish with lemon wedges and parsley.
