List of Ingredients



• 1/2 stick butter
  
• 4 chicken breasts, skinned and boned
  
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  
• 1/2 c. chicken broth
  
• 1/2 c. white wine
  
• 3 tbsp. lemon juice
  
• Basil or oregano to taste
  






Instructions



1. Melt butter in a large skillet or 2 smaller ones over medium high heat. Season rinsed and dried chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sauté 3-4 minutes on each side to brown, adding garlic during last 2 minutes.
   
2. Add stock, wine, and lemon juice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 15-20 minutes until chicken is barely pink in the center. Remove from pan and keep warm.
   
3. Turn up heat (combine liquids from 2 skillets) and bring to a boil, add herbs and simmer for 2 minutes. Season to taste.
   
4. Meanwhile, cook angel hair pasta until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain and toss into liquid-herb sauce.
   
5. To serve, divide pasta among plates. Top with your choice of prepared vegetables. Add chicken breasts either whole or sliced and fanned along edge of pasta.
