Ingredients
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (try whole wheat for healthier version)
- 8 thin chicken cutlets (about 1 1/2 pounds total) - I like to use breast meat
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts packed in water, rinsed, drained, and quartered
- 2 tablespoons rinsed and drained capers (optional-if you don't like them)
- 2 tablespoons butter (use less for a leaner meal)
- 8 ounces angel-hair pasta
- 1/2 cup parsley leaves
Directions
- Set a large pot of salted water to boil. Place flour in a shallow dish, and season with salt and pepper. Dredge cutlets, shaking off excess. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Cook chicken in batches, adding remaining oil as needed, until light golden, 1 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a dish.
- Add broth to skillet, and bring to a boil; cook until reduced by half. Add artichokes, capers, and the chicken with any juices. Gently swirl to combine, and bring just to a boil. Remove skillet from heat. Swirl in butter, and cover to keep warm.
- Add pasta to boiling water. Cook until al dente; drain. Serve chicken and sauce over pasta, topped with parsley.
