    Source of Recipe


    Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray

    List of Ingredients




    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1 1/3 pounds chicken breast tenders, cut into 1-inch pieces
    Salt and pepper
    1 1/2 tablespoons butter
    4 cloves garlic, chopped
    2 shallots, chopped
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup white wine
    1 lemon, juiced
    1 cup chicken broth or stock
    3 tablespoons capers, drained
    1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
    1 pound penne rigate pasta, cooked to al dente
    Chopped or snipped chives, for garnish

    Recipe



    Heat a deep nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and the chicken to the pan. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Brown chicken until lightly golden all over, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and return the skillet to the heat. Reduce heat to medium. Add another tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter, the garlic and shallots to the skillet. Saute garlic and shallots 3 minutes. Add flour and cook 2 minutes. Whisk in wine and reduce liquid 1 minute. Whisk lemon juice and broth into sauce. Stir in capers and parsley. When the liquid comes to a bubble, add remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter to the sauce to give it a little shine. Add chicken back to the pan and heat through, 1 to 2 minutes. Toss hot pasta with chicken and sauce and serve. Adjust salt and pepper, to your taste. Top with fresh snipped chives.
