So I want to start off by saying that I know my food & pictures don't always turn out all that pretty in appearance, but that doesn't mean they don't taste delicious! This is a perfect example. It's not as pretty as the picture on the website or pictures you see in cookbooks, but that's b/c I don't like spending extra time on the way it looks (or messing with my camera). I figure it takes long enough to fix the food that as long as it tastes good, then I'm a happy girl! Okay enough about that now I'm starting to ramble lol. This dish was a little time consuming and had a lot of components, but I must say I absolutely enjoyed it!
Ingredients:
6 oz whole-wheat angel hair pasta
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
4 chicken cutlets, trimmed
1/2 medium white or yellow onion, chopped
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
2 tbs olive oil
10 oz package mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
2 tbs lemon juice
2 tbs capers, rinsed
2 tsp butter
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until tender according to package directions. Drain and rinse.
Meanwhile, whisk 5 tsp flour and broth in a small bowl until smooth. Place the remaining flour in a shallow dish. Season chicken with salt & pepper on each side then dredge in flour. Heat 1 tbs oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked all the way through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; cover and keep warm.
Heat remaining 1 tbs oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add onions, mushrooms and zucchini and cook, stirring, until they soften and start to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate or bowl. 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 1/4 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in capers, butter and mushroom/onion/zucchini mixture. Toss the pasta with the sauce mixture. Serve chicken on top of the pasta. A little parmesan cheese makes a great topping (optional).
