Ingredients

6 ounces whole-wheat angel hair pasta
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, divided
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 chicken cutlets (3/4-1 pound total), trimmed
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 10-ounce package mushrooms, sliced
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
2 teaspoons butter

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes or according to package directions. Drain and rinse.

Meanwhile, whisk 5 teaspoons flour and broth in a small bowl until smooth. Place the remaining flour in a shallow dish. Season chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper and dredge both sides in the flour. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and no longer pink in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; keep warm.

Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they release their juices and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add garlic and wine to the pan and cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the reserved broth-flour mixture, lemon juice and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in parsley, capers, butter and the reserved mushrooms. Measure out 1/2 cup of the mushroom sauce. Toss the pasta in the pan with the remaining sauce. Serve the pasta topped with the chicken and the reserved sauce.

A+ From The Tastebuds!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just made this tonight for my husband and I. He's a very picky eater, so I am always battling to find unique recipes that... I can convince him to try and that he will like. He loved this! I did leave out the mushrooms however, as we are not huge fans and it was still super delicious! I paired it with some blanched fresh green beans that I then sauted in a little butter, garlic and lemon juice. The meal was a hit and will be one I will definitely make again. Read more

It's a keeper!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is delicious! The flavors are amazing, it's easy, and other than the pasta pot, it is a one pot dish! We added some... scallions and crushed red pepper at the end and it was amazing. The delicious sauce keeps the whole wheat pasta moist and flavorful. I used baby portabello mushroom and it gave the sauce a huge flavor boost. I highly recommend this dish! Read more
