Chicken Piccata With Pasta and Mushrooms
"This recipe is from Eating Well. We LOVED it! I added my chicken breasts back to this dish while it was simmering. I increased the garlic and added crushed red pepper to the flour."

ingredients
- 16 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 fresh ground pepper
- 1 lb chicken cutlet, trimmed
- 3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 (10 ounce) package mushrooms, sliced
- 5 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄2 cup white wine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1⁄4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
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; cover and 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, 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.

I love to try new recipes and often try so many new recipes that I forget about all the great ones I've already made. My focus in cooking is to cook healthy and lower in fat without compromising the taste of the food.
